Hi, Although my setup is not exactly the same as yours, I had some similar problems, such as the cupsd stopping as soon as you try to print something. One thing I found is that in some cases, the program you are printing from may be set to provide output in the raw printer format, but cups expects the output in postscript and tries to generate printer code. The solution may be to set up Wordperfect to print "passthru postscript" and set the destination to be the printer you set up in cups. I just tried this on a remote Windows printer thru Samba and it works. John Craig b5dave wrote: > Hi > > I really need to be able to print from Wordperfect 8/Linux real soon now > or I'm sunk.
