Well, I don't have the vendor-supplied file on disk, but I got a copy from the net, called "hp5sips.ppd" and with a great deal of futzing around, I _think_ I installed it into cups. The printer test printed out in 23 minutes. This is not a big improvement. I'm still waiting for a net d/l to print--it's only about 10 minutes now, but nothing is happening--even the start-print light on the printer isn't blinking, so I suppose there will be no print-out at all. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
