Take careful note of the print commands in the pop-up windows! Apparently Mandrake still hobbles along on two horses -- every now and then when using a new apps (or printing from there the first time) I see the 'lpr' command again. On replacing it with 'qtcups' usually gives me the right printer or at least Check your spool with the "lpq' command on a console. Good luck, Harm Bathoorn
