Yep, does the same thing! I don't know where it comes from, I'm totally stuck, even after a package reinstall (even trying the original /etc/printcap). I'm now asking myself if its not the motherboard fault (ABIT BE6): I was obliged to reinstall w$98, and never succeed to have the same configuration to work well again (I didn't get the SB Live! correctly installed till I disabled the HPT366 controlers...); and under Linux, I can't get my TV card to work well too (it was 4 weeks ago). I'll try to exchange it next wednesday to see what will happend. JY -- Jean-Yves F.
