from the command line, 'lp' and 'lpr' should both send print ocmmands to CUPS. If you have more than one printer, use lpr -P printername filename (I think) For OpenOffice, run the 'spadmin' script which is to be found in the install directory. This opens up a dialog box in which you cna configure and add printers. It's pretty straightforward, assuming lp and lpr are working: you just add the commands you find work for you from the ocmmand line. For KWord, I think you use the KPrinter dialog in the KDE Control Center (I run 3.1, and in that version you find it under Peripherals/Printers). However, i don't use many kfde-specific features, and I don't remember that bit very well. g'luck, matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
