Hi Arnout, Set the printer as default in cups before you begin. First test the url works in your browser: http://server:631/printers/printername if you have the right url AND the right cups permissions, then the url will show the printer control panel. Note and Note well that this method genrally will not work if you have a password set on the printer. If you need password portection on the printer in cups, then access the printer via Samba (and RAW Quues) Now use the url in the printer driver (or access over samba), then select the best driver from the options below: 1) MS Publisher Image Setter (Found under Generic drivers) 2) Adobe Post Script Driver <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=44&platform=Wind ows> or <http://preview.tinyurl.com/e1r> 3) The cups driver <http://www.cups.org/windows/articles.php?L376+I0+T+M10+P4+Q> or <http://preview.tinyurl.com/2d27ao> Next, go back and set the following options in the MS properties (right click the printer, select Printer Proerties, then Advanced buttons) for the Printer: 1) Grahics: Download font as soft font (not subsitutute with device font) 2) document options: Post Script: Optimize Post Script for Portability (not for speed) 3) document options: Post Script: Download True type fons as Soft Font (not bitmap font) 4) document options: Post Script: (optional) set the ICS options if you use ICS Lastly, if you print allot of line art or other filled items right click on the printer, select properties, the device poperties, and set thease (if you are doing serious art, you can skip this along with the ics option above) 5) Replace Grey Text with Post Script Grey 6) Replace Grey Graphics with Post Script Grey HTH Sam S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
