In the config file I have this string as the destination command for a dot matrix printer: lp -s -dprinter1 2>/dev/null It's been so long since I did it I don't remember what purpose is served by the "2>/dev/null". Anyone know what it does? Regards, Scott Scott Walker RAM Systems Corp Ph: (704) 896-6549 Fx: (704) 896-7458 scottw1 at alltel.net
