And magicfilter or apsfilter if you don't have a postscript printer. I've seen most people here suggest magicfilter. I came from suse, too and was used to apsfilter, so I used that. No problems. the apsfilter setup program is called apsfilterconfig in Debian, standard is SETUP. There seem to be some name clashes. IIRC it's configured automatically upon install. -- I did not vote for the Austrian government Linux: The choice of a GNU generation. Visit http://www.gnu.org/
