Hi David, Well, I now have the jobs spewing out of the printer, however, I have to use the -H transparent option in ppr. The problem with the PS files is that they are billing reports, just from a QA system, however, I don't know how realistic the data is. So, I'm not too sure on the ability of sending the file off-site. With regards with the job being an NT jobs, I'm not sure. Through 3rd parties, I was told that it was a PS level 2 job, from the little bit of PS that I know, it appears to be encapsulated postscript, but I'm stuck right now. I know that the application that generates the PS has been running on HP-UX for quite sometime and it is now being ported to Solaris. However, the problem with Solaris 8 is that when one printer gets hung, all the print queues from that box gets hung as well. This is not the case with PPR, so that's why I would like to move to PPR, in addition, this could be something that we have as a standard whether it's Solaris, HP-UX, in the near future Linux and of course SAMBA for NT. With this shot in the dark info that I have given you any suggestions?
