tests you asked for: lp command not found lpr cursor goes to the next line and stays there until the window is closed, (forever).
whereis says lpr is in /usr/sbin/lpr whereis says lp is not there (actually its says nothing) I take it that magicfilter and the restoration of the 3 files is ok. thanks for help paul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
