Be fair about this: Edouard posted something controversial and angry: so did I, when I tried to get printing working on this system. Printing on single-user machines is a *nightmare* to set up, the docs range from nearly useless to utterly useless, and while I did get printing working even I don't really know what I did to fix the problem. And I'm no newbie: this system had been running Linux for over a year at that point, and I've managed LANs and such for years before that. I'm not a good enough programmer, but someone needs to generate a simple printing package for single-user systems that doesn't require insanely complex installation and configuration to use a Deskjet 500. Sort of a "leafnode to inn" relationship with the various lpds we have now. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum <http://dm.net>
