I have been printing all my stuff using the command 'pr file > /dev/lp1' which has been working great. However, it seems that I need to set up my printer operation a bit more then I have already and was wondering how in the world I can do this. For example - when I type 'lpr' I get back " unable to get official name for local machine". HOw do I set this. I went into /etc/printcap and made sure the default line was uncommented but obviously there is more to this. I even looked for a '.bashrc' file to add 'export PRINTER=lp' and I couldn't find such a file. But I made one and put it in my $HOME directory. That made no difference so now I am at a loss. Would be nice to use LPR to print things rather then the way I am doing it now. ============================================================================ Ted Gervais Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Coldbrook, NS Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] 902-679-2253 =============================================================================
