Your original email ended up in my Spam Collection Sack, and this
is not the best place for it. This could be due to that fact
that you sent it directly to me, or you sent it to the LPRng mailing
list and you were not subscribed to it. Or you might be trying to
beat the list security and were sending to lprng-owner and expecting
to spam the list :-)
If you are subscribed to the mailing list, then you might have
sent it from a site or address different than the one that you
registered with. If the latter is the case and you want to post
from this address then send me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) email with
LPRNGMAIL in the SUBJECT line so my junk mail purging system will
not toss it into the bit shredder (we shred our email for security
reasons). In fact, if you any problems with the list, send me
email with LPRNGMAIL in the header.
The best way to get answers is via the LPRng mailing list, which
I peruse on a fairly frequent basis.
To subscribe, send mail to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
with the word

in the body.
This reply may be sent by a semiautomatic system, and the real
person actually may be drinking coffee at the present time...
so my apologies for the one-size-fits-all introduction.
