So I expected. Thanks for the response, at least I know I'm only half
crazy.

I've installed 1.1.24 on two different machines, previously, Mandrake
7.1, which has printtool-3.43-2mdk. The second machine is SuSE 6.4,
therefore does not use printtool, but YaST for printer configuration.
None the less, neither presented me with the option of changing the file
drop down.
I think I'll try to re-install 1.1.24 on my Mandrake box and see what I
get.

Not quite sure what you're looking for here. That actual file or what
types of printers. Anyway, I've got two printers, one sitting on my
primary machine, another available via Samba, sitting on a win95
machine. I can access both printers from three Linux boxes and two
windows boxes, so I'm pretty sure it's not a printcap problem.
