That, too, doesn't always work. On this system, lp0 (my printer) is not mentioned in /var/log/*. "dmesg | grep lp", does mention lp0, and only because the lp module was loaded last night (I decided to get around to getting this system to print, and I wanted to make sure I entered the right device into magicfilterconfig). -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
