Hi Roberts & cbagger01,

Thanks for the help. I was able to solve the "lpr" command problem. the library was /usr/lib/libbrcompij2.so.1.0.2. The error we saw was a symlink libbrcompij2.so.1 -> libbrcompij2.so.1.0.2. Put both in the .filetool.lst and the "lpe" command now works.

I still have a problem trying to make the MFC420CN the default. I have a export PRINTER=MFC420CN in the bootlocal.sh and it still prints to the EPSON. I think it may be the way the apsfilter configured the EPSON and lp.
Do you or anybody have 2 printers configured, working and be able to swith the default printer? If you do, please email me the /opt/printcap file.
Thanks again!

I am confused. If I do export PRINTER=MFC420CN and then
lpr myfile
It prints on the MFC420CN. So that is the default. When I try to print in Firefox it goe to the EPSON. How do I get Firefox to print to the MFC420CN?
Maybe this will help?
lpc>client
MFC420CN
lpc>server
EPSON
Please excuse my ignorance!
