John, Received a reply from NSDi: >This is not yet supported, but you can download "port-lpr" from >kampi.hut.fi:/AmiTCP to issue print jobs to your printers lpd. The not supported part was redirecting the printer.device output to the JetDirect equipped LJ printer. I take it "port-lpr" redirects a port (PAR: or SER:) to my printers lpd. What lpd??? Don't see any program names like this in the AmiTCP archive. Maybe AmiTCP needs a server to talk to for the printer and AmiTCP only acts like a client. I really don't know…. but guess I am going to be learning something. Made up the cable for the LJ4's serial port. Works alright, but can't set my WB 2.1 Prefs/Serial to higher than 31250 bps, so have to use 19200. Would definitely be cheapest to let the Amiga print via the serial port. What ever happened to WorkBench For Work Groups…. <grin> 73, Kelly
