CUPS does indeed provide failover of "print queues", but, not AFAICT printers themselves. It's possible to attach the same printer to several queue servers, but, if this printer were to go AWOL (which I think is what Colin is asking), then, I don't believe that CUPS can cope with this, but, I'm not sure if the advertised load-balancing features of CUPS would be intelligent enough to not forward requests. Print serving isn't really my bag :) Kevin -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
