Are you sure the printer is called "deskjet" ? And if it is defined as standard printer, you won't need the -P option at all. Have you installed the cupsys-client and/or cupsys-bsd packages as well? These are replacements for the "traditional" lp/lpr programs especially for CUPS. hth joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
