No, not that; and I think you are right about conflicts. This is going back a long time, but my suspicion would be that I originally had some other form of lpr installed - I think whatever is the default you get on installation - which didn't work, and I then replaced it with the CUPS tools, which did work, but some of the original not-working lpr config files were still lying around. When I want to print, lp is the command that I find natural to use, from days of using UNIX; and since it works for me, I've never really bothered to find out why lpr doesn't. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
