YaST2 lists lp parallel printer, as default printer. Yet, when I type the command, lpr env.pl, this: tompoe@aether:~ > pdq env.pl Error.

PDQ uses different configuration files. The "xpdq" program lets you setup the printers, and select one as the default. You may need to be root to setup system wide printers. Also as root, use the command: ln /usr/local/bin/pdq /usr/local/bin/lpr. This links the 'lpr' command to 'pdq'. PDQ is a nice printing system for home users. There's no printing daemon constantly running and listening on network ports. And it has a pretty nice graphical interface. -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar@bigfoot.com "Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" -- Matthew 6:25b
