well i think there is -- but unlike setting up a printer, its more like setting up a filter. ;) with slackware 8.1 comes ghostscript and a very fine tool which i personally recommend called apsfilter. apsfilter sets up filters for your printers, and configurations and installations are done via an application similar to PINE (something like the kernel's make menuconfig if i may say so) of course, like with every other task, you should always read the docs that came with apsilfter. hope you have it working right... ;) -- -=[mikhail]=- _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
