IIRC... "lp-ascii" is for printing plain text files. "lp" is the normal printer, and takes Postscript documents. "lp-raw" dumps whatever you feed it straight to the printer. Most GUI programs will print to "lp". If you're printing text files from the command line, use "lp-ascii" or "lp-raw". -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar@galaxyinternet.net "Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" -- Matthew 6:25b
