If it prints a test page, that is inspiring. Perhaps your input filter is expecting postscript but mutt is sending plain text. So you need a filter that can either 1) convert plain text to postscript, and then pipe that into your existing filter which works already 2) convert plain text to your printer's control language. I'd be willing to bet that (1) will be easier to setup. What you might have to do is create a new "printer" in /etc/printcap that prints text, and use the other currently working "printer" to print postscript (from your browser, for example). I have done this before, it is not terribly tricky but does require some patience if you are doing it for the first time. I looked at muttprint, it uses LaTeX, which is a very large piece of software (see teTeX or teXLive in ports) and is probably not something you want to install if you are trying to save disk space. Good luck. -Mark _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
