Of course. ;) My printer definitions as per CUPS were picked up here by 2.0, but the box I installed yesterday - NADA! And, because someone screwed up and you can't ad a printer, I had to mess with it. What I did is allow admin. to think I was defining a FAX when it fact it's a printer. When the popup asks for a phone number, all you have to do is choose "ok." What I did was to use it to call up Kprinter, which gives the user the access to ALL of the defined printer options for that printer. It "ain't pretty, but it works." ;) There's been a fair number of installs that have "failed" in this area with 2.0. Fred -- Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft.
