also be aware that in previous versions of CUPS there was a native ability to print directly to a file; per the cups users group it was removed at some point because too many people were complaining about how difficult/unintuitive it was (seems like if i could figure it out at the time, anybody could, but oh well. also seems rather anal and bass-ackwards to remove a perfectly good function instead of improving it, but again - oh well). i discovered that when i needed to migrate that particular program to a newer version of linux - and couldn't because that functionality no longer existed and any help was reluctant at best. you might check to see if anyone on the CUPS side knows if that functionality has been revived.

What module do i need, if necessary, to print a file using that printer? Thanks in advance Toddy I haven't used it, but there's a module on CPAN called Net::CUPS. Glancing at the methods it provides it looks to me like it may by what you need. http://search.cpan.org/~dhageman/Net-CUPS-0.41/Printer/Printer.pm Larry
