If you print with ``lpr -P somewhere:someprinter'', roothood appears necessary. I simply set up printers with admintool, with the commands Browse -> Printers Edit -> Add -> Access to Printer and then specify Printer Name: the name of the printer on the remote machine Print Server: the name of the remote machine Descripotion: anything and then OK. This should cause the new printer to be acessable as if it were local, and the lpq and lprm commands work as you'd normally expect. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

Have you tried the "net" command that comes with windows. ex: net use lpt1 \\sambaserver\printer replace your capture statements with it. Works for me. -= Jess =-
