Any ideas what > I > should do > next? What does it say/do exactly, when you try to print a file via lpr (man lpr)? Then, try to find out, if your printing jobs still sit in the queue (man lpq). If yes, check the status-file (Should be in the spool-directory (usually /var/spool/lpd/printername). Also have a look at the logs in /var/log. Don't remember the file name of the lpd-log, but the name of the file should tell (something like /var/log/lpd perhaps). So try to find out about these things, mail any error-messages to the list, perhaps someone can help then. Regards, Daniel
