I don't think so, and I've never had to before. It was strange in the way it did it too, the printer would feed a sheet, do half a line, and stop, 2 minutes later it spit out that page with half a line of text on it. Cups always reported the /dev/usb/lp0 port was busy, and that it would retry in 30 seconds. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.19% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
