If you have a raw print stream, just ensure you have application/octet-stream enabled. To do this, simply cd to /etc/cups on the machine that owns the printer(s) and edit mime.convs and mime.types. You will easily see the octet-stream support near the bottom of each of these files. -- Regards, Dave [RLU #314465] ====================================================================== dwn...@ntlworld.com (David W Noon) ======================================================================
