Doesn't look like I even *have* an enscript executable... # locate enscript /usr/share/apps/kdeprint/filters/enscript.desktop /usr/share/apps/kdeprint/filters/enscript.xml /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdeprint/filters/enscript.desktop /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdeprint/filters/enscript.xml /opt/kde32/share/apps/kdeprint/filters/enscript.desktop /opt/kde32/share/apps/kdeprint/filters/enscript.xml -- RedHat 8.0 Kernel 2.4.20-19.8, KDE 3.1.3, Xfree86 4.2.1 6:30pm up 26 days, 23 min, 2 users, load average: 0.14, 0.20, 0.09 It's what you learn after you know it all that counts _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
