Hello Joh: IMO, the thing you did wrong was not installing cups. I think it has to be the most user-friendly way to get a printer up and running on any distro of Linux. The driver base is huge and the ability to configure drivers on the fly is awesome. I migrated from Lprng to cups on this box, and I just completed a new install of Woody with cups on my laptop. Both run perfectly. gl to you tatah - -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid. I SHOUT JUST FOR FUN.
