Thanks for your response, Joe. Yes, the Epson is the default printer. Nothing happens. I've colmed the spool directories, and no print file ever appears. That's why I think it may be a Netscape problem...there's no /var/spool/lpr directory, but Netscape's print screen comes up expecting the default printer to be lpr. My default printer is ep. Dunno. I suppose I'll have to spend some time on it, just didn't want to; hoping someone else had seen the problem.
Thanks for taking the time, though. I appreciate it. M1k3 Joseph Braddock wrote: >In CUPS, have you made the printer the default system printer?
