Aye, it's an issue that I don't have a clear solution to. Hardcoding a sleep into /etc/init.d/xprint is the best I can think of off hand. Or maybe we would have the script check its entries before it exits, and if nothing is there it can try once more. > More fundamentally, CUPS printers can both appear and disappear during > normal system operation; this is especially true of remote printers > detected by IPP's browsing mechanism.

In the meantime xprehashprinterlist has been provided as simple way of manually refreshing the list. Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
