Yes, I forgot to mention that, but it has the duplex module, and I use it by default, to save paper. It normally pauses for about 5 seconds, before sucking the paper back in, flipping it over, and printing the other side (which it does even if there's nothing to print on the other side!). Now it pauses for much longer than normal, then gives up and spits it out (without doing the suck the page back in and flip it over). > Did you use MCC to set it up?

Well, I called printerdrake directly, but that amounts to the same thing. The thing is, I had it set up and working correctly with all the kde programs that I had used it with (except for the KGhostView font problem I mentioned). Then it broke. But I don't know how it broke. I haven't changed any settings. And it's only broken for local printing from KDE programs. Non-KDE programs print fine, and remote printing works fine. > Anne -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
