Wow. That was great. I didn't know about that trick. The first thing it let me do was delete printers. The GNOME remove-printer-function was grayed out, and I couldn't figure out how to delete printers. At first I couldn't do a test page. The program said that my parallel port was busy. Also, when I would boot into, or out of, Debian the printer would start printing blank pages. So I let the printer have a little fit, turned it off, and then turned it back on again. After I did that I could print a test page from localhost:631. After the test page printed I could print with Open Office for the first time. The printer didn't start when I booted out of Debian this time (I'm in SuSE now.) We'll see what happens when I boot back into Debian. I really can't believe that a fix to a Debian problem can be so easy. (And I'm not sure exactly what the fix actually was.) So thanks Jonathan and David. If I don't get my sound working, I'll be back in touch next week and you can fix that for me too. :-) Bob _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
