A little enhancement, but untested. And maybe it would be better to use /bin/sh, because on normal devices no bash is installed. #!/bin/sh user=[put your user here] host=[put fqdn or up of printer host here] if [ $# -ge 1 ];then file=$1 cat $file | ssh $user@$host 'lpr /tmp/$file' else cat | ssh $user@$host 'lpr /tmp/$file' fi echo "complete" Cheerio, Jan
