Yes - that's how I'm administering the machine as it's 350 miles away. >From the CUPS interface at port 631 I can delete the printer, add the printer automatically - CUPS finds it when I ask it to look for new printers - and I can print test pages form within the management interface. I can run Open Office and print pages on the printer. OO sees the printer with the exact big, ugly name I left as default in CUPS. My dad says the pages show up and he's right because he reads me what I typed in. It's all the other apps I've tried remotely (Evolution in my dad's account & Firefox in mine) that don't find the printer. Curious... Cheers, Mark
