hai folks Well Ive found you have to be "very" carefully with fonts on Linux, Often I have tried to print a file (not a text file) and it wont print, then I change the fonts bingo it works. I usually install all the Microsoft base fonts on all the machines, plus a few fonts I have collected over the years (I keep them on a CD) and most of the printing problems vanish.

Would you like me to start WINWORD.EXE? [Y/N] On Sat, 2003-11-08 at 18:24, Matthew Davidson wrote: > Hi, > > I'm setting up a Debian (testing) box, with a Lexmark printer.
