What happens when you try to print? Anything? Is there anything in /var/log/lp-acct, /var/log/lp-errs, or /var/log/lpr.log?
Have you tried using magicfilter to handle printing? (I haven't used Opera, but Netscape and SO both print fine for me.) BTW: it's unwise to use a root login for mail and other non-root tasks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 269 Hamilton Hall, CB#3210, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3210 USA On Thu, 20 Sep 2001, root wrote: > Has no one any idea of how I can solve the problem stated below?
