I take this back. After restarting the broswer I get the main page but none of the options work. They are all refuled potrt messages. Now, with cupsd not running locally it seems that there would be no way to set the default printer, or am I missing something? This machine is lightning. It sees two printers on the network. In windows IPP terms they are \\MINI\PSC1600 and \\CHRISTMAS\Epson With cupsd not running I can still do lpstat and get info about the printers: lightning ~ # lpstat -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 PSC1600 accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 lightning ~ # But the system has decided that the Eson is always the default. Due to limitations of a few low-end Linux programs that cannot choose a printer I sometimes need to change the default to get the print out to go where I want it to go. - Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
