Make sure you've enabled support for Windows PCL drivers. Uncomment application/octet-stream in /etc/cups/mime.types and uncomment application/octet-stream in /etc/cups/mime.convs. I made those changes, actually created a local.types and local.convs file in /etc/cups/ and stopped and restarted the cups server.

It was single-tasking but you could turn-off the machine at any stage and it would always restart perfectly well without the slightest problem. Then came Windoze 95, which critics called Apple Mac 1986, followed by Windoze 98 with errors and bugs galore then Windoze 98 second attempt to get it right then followed by M$'s third attempt at a 98 product called Windoze ME. Have DOS 6 somewhere, and M$ / Micro Focus DOS Cobol too, and possibly a copy of DOS 3.3. However Centos (or Linux generally) is certainly a real hands-on operating system offering lots of satisfaction absent from all M$ products. Just wish I had discover the joys of Centos years ago. It really is a computer person's delight. So boring because it just works well and reliably :-) -- With best regards, Paul.
