Sorry, there was one step missing in my explanation. I guess I was somewhat=
 tired yesterday evening...

It's simply the attached script... In /etc/printcap, if=3D... specifies the=
 input filter script. This can be any program which reads from stdin and (u=
sually) writes to stdout. I think, however, lpstyl (which is called within =
this script) writes directly to /dev/stylewriter. Not sure... anyway, it wo=
rks perfectly for me!

Hope this helps,

Albrecht.
