Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The drop down box that should list my printers has one entry in it, 'file.' The print plugin lists printers available to the system in the /etc/printcap file. You probably haven't configured any printer for your system yet. If you're using redhat, they have a graphical interface called printtool to guide you setting everything up. I've got two printers configured and can 'see' them both from every other program (netscape, older gimp). I fired up gimp from the command line and found that when I bring up the print dialog box, an error is displayed saying that 'usr/bin/lpstat' can not be found. I suspect this is the problem. I've since found that lpstat comes with the new lprng driver, so I'll have to look into that I guess.

Yes, I've got one printer that is attached to this machine and a second that is available via samba. Every other program sees both printers. The reason I noted that 1.1.25 needs lprng is because I get an error from gimp when I open the print dialog window. The error says it can't find lpstat.

The only place I could find lpstat was in the lprng dist. Yes, lpstat is in the lprng package but is also in the lpr package. Probably all of the printing packages have it. Run updatedb and do a 'locate lpstat'. I'm afraid I disagree. Check the file listing for any variance of lpr on http://www.rpmfind.net It's not listed. I've also got it installed on 6 Linux machines, four different distributions. lpstat is not installed. : Gene Imes http://www.ozob.net : -- Until later: Geoffrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Microsoft != Innovation

1.1.25 and still no printer list
Well, I had hoped that by upgrading to 1.1.25 I would be able to resolve my problem with gimp not listing my printers. Alas, same problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The drop down box that should list my printers has one entry in it, 'file.' Anyone else have this problem with rpm installs? -- Until later: Geoffrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Microsoft != Innovation
Re: 1.1.25 and still no printer list
Well, I believe I'm on to something here. Fired up gimp from the command line and when open up the print dialog, I get an error message on the command line: '/usr/bin/lpstat not found.' So I'm looking for lpstat, anyone know where I might find a copy?
