(you need the address off the back of the card and [of course] your own ip/gw addresses !!!) The .default entry is optional but advisable if you have quite a few records. The hn record just tells it to tell the printer what it's name is, i.e. printer.... if you need more info, look in then bootptab(5) man page. Cheers Phil
