Ron,
As of yet I haven't done anything. I'm really not sure what to do about them.
I've got Mandrake 7.2 on my home machine and my workstation at work and
they're both doing it. There's somethin ain't right though. I just don't have
a clue of where to start as far as they're concerned, and I didn't want to
just start poking around in the dark. I've made enough work for myself lately
with trying to get my Canon to print in Mdk7.2 to be worried with these
strange, cryptic message. The system is running well apart from the printer
thing. So what is a fella to do about this?
