i don't think that you need any special config for the plotter as long you not gonna try to use it from some linux program, i used to have HPLJ6p and i had 3 windows machines set up so they use network printer and they was actually using windows drivers to format the printer input, samba just passed the binary file created by the windows driver to the printer. same as if you would print to the file on windows machine and then typed 'cp print_this.file /dev/lp1' on linux machine what the plotter is connected to. I'm sorry but i don't remember any specifics it's been few years :) Dingo. ).|.( '.`___'.` ' `(>~<)' ` -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-ooO-=(_)=-Ooo-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Petr [Dingo] Dvorak [EMAIL PROTECTED] Coder - Purple Dragon MUD pdragon.inetsolve.com port 5555 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-[ 369D93 ]=-=- Just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean, they're not after you -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
