Re: HELP!



lpr, lpq etc live under /usr/sbin or /usr/local/sbin. This is mentioned in
their manuals, which you did not read, obviously.

I don't know if the HP 660 is Post Script native, but I strongly suggest
that you install the aps filter. It is on the SLS CD but the newer one is
on sunsite (aps-4.91). 

This is an excellent program that installs without any problems. When
asked about which kind of printer, use a HP deskjet (color). You can
reinstall later for a better matching entry.

After installing, edit the /etc/printcap file and move the 2nd entry (the
one with -auto-), to the front. Use a text editor. This ensures that the
default printer is 'auto'. Print away.
