May I have a pointer please....... Printer is HP Laserjet 4P hanging on lp0. Printing is normal from Star Office and similar applications BUT.... I try a simple lpr <filename> usually a readme from the Konsole and the left side of the page is noted by it's abscense. Text looks normal but about 10 characters are missing from start of the line. I know I've been here before but age has got the better of me, it's been called 'brain-farts' Cheers John
