Status 1 just means it failed. Status 0 is what you want ;) Anyway, I see you got it fixed by re-emerging, which makes sense because "No pages found!" generally means a problem with your filters. I think running "revdep-rebuild" might have told you that your cups was broken, but maybe not... PS: change the loglevel back to something sane unless you want MBs of printer log files. -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
