There are two printer spooling systems packages in Debian: LPR and LPRng, both are BSD style, so initially think that you do not have an "lp" command wich is part of a SystemV printing system (HPUX, IRIX...) I suggest you install LPRng wich is and enhaced version of LPR (commands and options are the same), also install magicfilter wich will configure you the printer system in a very easy way, then with "lpr <filename with virtually any type>" you'll print it. Easy. LPRng also comes with an "lp" shell script wich you will let you to interface to the print system ala System V. I think there are also lpstat, etc.. shell scripts... There are many methods to instally packages, the most simple for me when I only want to upgrade/install one package is: download/get from CD the package, then type as root: "dpkg -i <file-of-package.deb>". "-i" stands for install. I hope this helps, If something is not clear, don't doubt to repost it ulisses PD: sorry my poor english -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
