WP provides two print options, one is to use your printcap printers and the other is to use a Wine print facility. Don't even know what the later is but it uses printcap designations just fine. In short, I haven't "set up" anything within WP to print; it's just not needed. > Second, every so often, when I exit Wordperfect, the entire system hangs > hard, and requires a power cycle to fix it.

Looks to me that all WPO is doing is dumping the file into the proper print queue and Linux is handling the chore. Cheers --- Larry
