I have done so. I have half a dozen "printers" installed for my Xerox Phaser 7400DN, each with a different PPD and/or driver. I was able to call each one different things. The name works in the dialog box and when I use lpr at the command line. I am pouring concrete today and don't have time to give details. I also have other comments re editing the PPD file, but they will have to wait until later. Concrete waits for no man. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
