Thanks for the patch, it looks valid for gcc compile issues. > BTW: the hunk that applies to prnt/hpijs/hpijs.cpp illustrates > beautifully(?!) the utter lack of untrusted input validation > one can find in hpijs.

The reason we do not need parameter checking here in hpijs is because a invalid print mode (ie: Quality, MediaType, ColorMode, ...) will default to a valid print mode. The goal is to always print if possible but with a warning for invalid input. -dave ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
