I think I understand that. What I can't figure out is how to navigate to it. When I point my browser to localhost:631, where is it looking? There has to be some kind of index.html or something to generate the main web page. There has to be some kind of source file. The links on that page for the various instructions point to localhost:631/help/<file>, but when I click on them, it says "Not Found". I have found the various files at /usr/share/cups/doc-root/help/ and I can point the browser at /usr/share/cups/doc-root/help/overview.html and read the page. However for actions like "Adding Printers and Classes" the link says localhost:631/admin. Like everything else, clicking on that returns "Not Found". Admin has to be a file, link, command, something, but what and where? If I knew where it was, maybe I could find it, navigate to it, and move on. It is looking like hplip is my main problem. Looking at my other computer, it looks like hplip isn't even installed, that it is only using cups. Maybe I need to remove hplip and just use cups. Maybe I need to reinstall cups. If I can figure out how to do that. Michael _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
