The other way is to create a raw printer instance and use that as your windows printer. The problem you are having is that windows puts raw data out to the printer. This is then sent to the ppd file in cups which tries to reformat it for the attached printer. So you either get garbage or no data sent to the printer. What you want is for CUPS not to process the file but pass it directly onto the printer. You can setup another instance using lpoptions, see the man page for more details or add another printer to the queue with the raw option set. -- Regards, Graham Smith -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
