Hello, AFAICS, this problem is not related to a2ps (you should get the same result if you try `for f in 1 2 3 4;do lpr foo.txt;done'). I had the same kind of trouble and someone on the list found the solution: set `done_jobs=0' in lpd.conf Hope this helps Ciao =========================================================================== Gabriele Balducci tel I-040-5583957 Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche fax I-040-5583903 Via L.
