How Print Vector Attribute on Map ? ? ?

[Bjorn Svensson]

 Howdy,

How can I get a hardcopy map showing a vectorfile WITH ITS ATTRIBUTES.
I have a vector file with attributes/categories and I'd like the categories
to print in different colors or at least with attributes as labels.

I print with p.map but I can`t get one vector file to print what I want, 
i.e lines with different labels (from v.digit) to print in different colors

I`m aware of the labels in p.map and p.label but it seems like I have
to manually transfer the attribute to a label.  Can it be so stupid?
