the above URL from owlfish describes how to use the postscript driver with the cups PPD file, but for me uncommenting 2 lines in config files was easier than setting up a raw queue in the pintcap. FYI if it wasn't clear I installed the Windows drivers in windows, not linux. The only difference really is the page is formatted by the Windows driver before it's sent to CUPS rather than sending raw postscript data and being formatted afterwards. The end result is the same. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
