Yes to both. Sorry not to mention this right off. I mentioned this the first time I attempted to post this message but apparently wasn't yet fully subscribed and neglected to save myself a copy. If I save the file as a postscript from the acroread print pop-up window, I can print the job without a problem from the command line and, thus, to no surprise, can also correctly display it with gv. Thus, the job seems to somehow never be making it outside acroread. In trying to diagnose the problem, I tried using another printer that I didn't realize hadn't been configured for the system by changing the printer command to "/usr/bin/lpr -Plex". I received the same print error message I would have received from lprng if I had tried this from the command line yet it was displayed within a pop-up window from acroread. So obviously acroread is talking to lprng to some degree. -- Paul Yeatman (858) 534-9896 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================== ==Proudly brought to you by Mutt== ==================================
