Dirk, may I suggest subscribing to [EMAIL PROTECTED], at least for a little while? It's a good list, the posters are friendly, it's spam-clean, and the linux printing developers post often. http://www.linuxprinting.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general-list I bet if you send this message to that list, you will have a solution within an hour. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
