Wayne, Thanks for the reply. In my /etc/magicfilter/djet550c-filter, the rights are as follows: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4857 Jul 8 16:09 dj550c-filter*
When I run it via the commandline, I do not get any error, if simply sits there as if it is waiting for information. I am still getting the same problems if I try to lpr to that printer: Sep 14 11:11:47 host lpd[25613]: cannot execv /etc/magicfilter/djet550c-filter --Jay At 9/13/98 08:04 PM -0400, Wayne Cuddy wrote: >This line :if=/etc/magicfilter/djet550c-filter:\ is causing the lpd to >redirect the printjob to that program.
