Hi Igor. Somebody built this for me and it's I believe an intel motherboard, not a dell. but I got a card with a parallel port on it for my second printer. No problem there; the printer port is recognized and prints with cat, just would like to use lpr. The embosser by the way is an old Versapoint. I never really had to mess with /etc/printcap with my inkprint printer, though I've used todos to filter so the line breaks come out right. I'm told the -l option will work with lpr for .brf files. well, will have a look at /etc/printcap. Thanks. Cheryl
