I tried to print a file like test-12:57: % smbclient \\host\printer -P > translate > print test-12:57 and I get the following error: "Error opening local file test-12W" ^^^^ The error didn't exist in Version 1.9.18p3 and previous releases. I have tested it on Linux (2.0.33) and Digital Unix 4.0D. wob -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wolfgang Barth | anything is good and useful if it's (wob@swobspace.rhein.de) | made of chocolate ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------
