Thanks go to Tridge, James Mutter, and Jason Thomson! I made the change Jason suggested but I think I nullified that change since I also set print command = cp %s /tmp/print.%f ; rm %s ; cp /tmp/print.%f /dev/lpt0 ; rm /tmp/print.%f Which is probably one `cp' more than is needed, but this appears to solve my problem. Thanks! Given the responses I received, perhaps something about this should go into the FAQ and or DIAGNOSING.txt? Thanks again! Eli
