Thanks Amy, The hpijs driver is what works for my printer, and it works! mdk10.0 with cups version 1.1.20 is what I have. I had to enable it in printer configuration and select "long-side" or "short side" as HarM mention in the other reply. Its great, I don't feel so bad now when I print a howto or manpage. :-) Mike
