Tell us what printer this is (maker/model) and how it is connected to your computer (parallel port, USB, network). Also, post your /etc/cups/printers.conf. (This file can contain clear text passwords of network printers; remove those from your mail if necessary.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
