Last time I did that I used web interface to set up cups with plain hp ppd (ppd for my printer wasn't in the list), replaced /etc/cups/ppds/myprinter.ppd (IIRC) with the correct ppd, and then went back to cups web interface to set up things like installed trays, duplex unit etc. I think I found the ppd on adobe website, or maybe it was hp... anyway, google found it. I dunno why anyone would bother with any scripts -- all you need is a browser, google and cp. Dima -- Surely there is a polite way to say FOAD. -- Shmuel Metz "Go forth and multiply". -- Paul Martin
