hmmm don't know why Alon thinks CUPS sucks, I love it, easy to install configure and work very well with samba. And I installed a Samsung ml-4500 laser printer which consider problematic
I can print from any Linux or windows station using ( raw data or postscript what ever I choose ) as for Geoffrey, can you show us tail of CUPS logs ? also I suggest you to go to cups web site and look for their news groups ( they know what they say there :) you'll find their general groups and HP group most helpful , post to both -------------------------- Canaan Surfing Ltd.
