Dunno if this will help or not, but I initially had the same problem & stumbled upon an answer for me. First, I use the "Printing Manager" in KDE to set up CUPS. All of the rest is in reference to this utility. If you select your printer from the "Printing Manager" initial screen you will get a window with 4 Tabs. The last Tab is called "Instances". If you select the "Instances" tab on the right side will be a listing of possible additional selections. Select "Settings". This will bring up a new window,with again a series of 3 Tabs, the last of which will be called "Filters". When you select this, you will get yet another screen where you can add or remove various filters. I had to add the "PDF Writer" filter in order to get xpdf & acroread to print out. As I recall there was one for enscript plus a couple of more. I suggest you play around with these filters and see what happens Cheers, -Don Spoon- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
