It looks like xprint is dying silently on startup. It's not found using ps, though no errors show on daemon restart. I just said heck with it and downgraded to 1.6, WTF do I need to run two seperate print daemons? Fsck me gently with a chainsaw, but between that and getting rid of Postscript printing; it adds up to an asinine decision on the parts of the devels. (And 99.5% of the time I agree with their decisions.) Bah, it prints and browses webpages. Thats all I need it to do. -- "If women knew, if they even had the slightest idea of what men were thinking, they'd never stop slapping us." -- Larry Miller
