When I went to the localhost:631, I found an error message which said the printer , S/N thus and so. was not found. This makes sense, as this is a different printer of the same type. So I told the thing to delete the printer. Then I went back to the KDE printing manager, and found the old serial numbered printer still there, so I changed the s/n to the number on this printer. Then that gave some kind of error message about the port being wrong. It's the same USB port I have always used--I have no other USB devices. Anyway, I said continue anyway, but it would not print. I need to thoroughly cleanse the system of all printers, of any type or serial number and then start over. How do I do that? Thanx Verner, at least I seem to have discovered a few things-- all except an answer! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
