A lot of programs print using lpr. So I think they make a temp file in ps and call lpr to print it. So you can move your real lpr, and make a cript (called lpr) that interpretes all parameters passed to lpr, to understand which is the file to print. Sometime files are in /var/spool. Try and let me know, I'm interested. Bye Ambrogio
