Commands:
cat filename > /dev/lp0 
works but no cr or lf
lp filename 
command not found
lpr filename lpr not found
lp -Plp (found in netscape only)
sh  lp not found
files commented:
/etc/exim.conf
/etc/mailname
when taken out mail no longer is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
log file now says can't open exim.
I don't know how to use vi to get the last 10 lines 
exim is in /usr/sbin/exim (machine language)
I can't find a reference to exim in /var/spool/lpd
I don't think dselect is working at full blast but
here is what I got
dselect lp   unknown action string
dselect lpr  unknown action string
dselect lprng unknown action string

I am willing to hire a paid expert but no one wants to
touch the printer problem.
