Aloha,

Thanks this worked from the command line just fine.

Now I dont understand the CUPS printing setup. I tried the helper app 
but no printcap file was created for my Laserjet 1100.
There is a driver listed and the ljet4q is selected but no que was 
written or printcap file so the test didnt work from the command line.

Any Ideas how this works? I have a network print server that runs 
FreeBSD lpr apsfilter and all the other boxes work from the command line 
and GUI's too.

I am used to FreeBAS that has all the Utilities installed. Now I 
remember why I switched. I only ever had a Debian box that seemed to 
like me. A long time ago. Scott may remember the days at Mid Pac.

Mahalo...
