Does your lp device have the correct ownership and permissions? $ ls -l /dev/lp* crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 2006-09-06 13:41 /dev/lp0 Maybe some other process is blocking the device. $ lsof -w | grep /dev/lp might help you to find out if that is the case. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
