Hi Tony.
Thanks for responding to my note.
Here is what I have in my /var/spool/lpd/HPj directory:
[root@mach3 HPj]# ls -al
total 40
drwx------ 2 lp lp 4096 Feb 11 18:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 5 14:46 ..

[root@mach3 HPj]#
The only .cfg file I have in there is 'filter.cfg'. And here is what is in
there:
[root@mach3 HPj]# more filter.cfg

So - that leaves me with no place to put 'export papersize=letter..
