Another useful place for errors is $HOME/.xsession-errors. I recently went through some problems with my printer, and found some good info there. Try doing a "tail -f .xsession-errors", and then launching a print, and see if you can capture anything useful. I know these things can be frustrating. But with enough information, the answer can be found. :) -- Ric Tibbetts Linux registration number: 55684 If you want to help advertise Linux - point your friends to http://counter.li.org/
