I've been here - even corresponded with the author of the page, and it 
helped significantly. He even sent me a postscript level one file to cat 
to the port. But he seems to be very busy and hasn't replied to my last 
email to work through my remaining problems.

I'll try this and let you know what happens.

I have three entries for the same printer because they are different 
configurations (ppd's for the NT or 360). When I find something that 
works I'll delete all but the one that works.

Thanks!
