Default Gateway : 10.0.0.250 <- ?? How can it resolve its own problems? > Syslog Server : Not Specified To be honest, I have no idea where to set the gateway, or what the significance might be. When I set the IP address, it automatically set the gateway to the same value. Shrug. > root at homer:# lpd -P skinner xwindows.txt > > ??? Isn't this lpr?

Yeah, this is the only line that I _didn't_ cut & paste... it is SUPPOSED TO READ: lpr -P hptq xwindows.txt I even fscked up the errata... =/ > root at Homer:/var/spool/lpd# cat status > > ??? I thought spooldir was lpd/hptq this is also a mystery. HP never told me to _create_ /var/spool/lpd/hptq .. so I didn't. The lpd just dupmed the spooled jobs into /var/spool/lpd. Then for kicks I mkdir hptq... lpd _still_ dumped the jobs into /var/spool/lpd. I don't understand this behaviour either. -.bill.layer.- -.those who are talking don't know, and those who know aren't talking.- -.frogtown.- -.minnesota.- -.u.s.a.-
