What print spooler are you using? LPRng? When that is the case, you should do something like this: myprinter:\ :rm=<ip address>:\ :if=<filter>:\ .. or, when JetDirect is supported: myprinter:\ :lp=<ip address>%9100:\ :if=<filter>:\ .. Please note that the "rp" option stand for "remote printer queue", that is, the name of the printer queue on your target printer. Some printers can be picky about this one (ie. HP 9850), but many (most?) are quite happy without that option. Regards, Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
