Hi Ralph,

You should be able to simply set $_printer = "LexMark" or $_printer =
"HP6P", depending on which you want to print to.

You could also make one of them titled in the printcap as
lp|LexMark:\ ...
or
lp|HP6P:\ ...

whichever one you use there would also be known as "lp" and would be the
default printer under most circumstances.

HTH,

Ryan
