There isn't a "native" print model. Instead there are several to choose from, LPRng is just one choice. I use CUPS. | Now, nothing works. I've tried 'apt-get remove printtool' | but keep getting the message: | "Fatal Error - Another print spooler is using TCP printer port | - not LPRng" Shutdown the print spooler so nothing is listening on the lpd port. I don't know how to do this with the apps you have installed, but there should be something in /etc/init.d that you can run with the "stop" argument. You can also try the --force option, or remove all print spoolers at once. Then you can install just the tool(s) you want to have. HTH, -D
