Hi Tom,

On my Linux server, I use:

     -r printer:B4350='HP LaserJet IIP'

Local (Linux): B4350
Remote TS printer: HP LaserJet IIP

Which to me seems to be "-r printer:local=remote".  And, it does
work.

On the Apple I used:
     -r printer:'HP Deskjet F4200 series'='HP Deskjet 4100 series'

local printer: HP Deskjet F4200 series
remote (TS) printer: HP Deskjet 4100 series

And, it does not work.

What is wrong with my syntax?  I do not understand.  Can you
give me an example?

-T
p.s. Do you mean my TS "system" log?  I am not aware of
a TS specific log.

p.s.s this would be a lot easier if the local user used
a PCL or Post Script printer!
