There you will find a section: <Item Id="custom"> <Name>Custom</Name> <Key Id="Module" Value="libgnomeprint-custom.so" /> <Option Id="Command" Default="lpr" Type="String" /> </Item> If you insert -l behind the lpr on the fourth line, then it will automatically appear in the dailog. I cannot test it but you may want to try to add a text like <Item Id="fac"> <Name>Fac</Name> <Key Id="Module" Value="libgnomeprint-custom.so" /> <Option Id="Command" Default="lpr -l -Pfac" Type="String" /> </Item> immediately following the above custom entry, this will give you another choice which may (untested!) print using lpr -l -Pfac. good luck Andreas
