Okay, some thoughts on this issue: Tom is unable to administer his cups server with server:631. He seems to get the web pages but committing his changes doesn't work. This looks to me like a misconfiguration of cups on the server (not client). lpr works from the command line but not when called by Mozilla: I suspect that there are in fact still 2 binaries on the system: An lpr from the regular unix printing package and an lpr belonging to cupsys-bsd. Differences in path cause Mozilla to use the cups version while on the command line the regular version is used. If the server also runs an cups lpd compatibility daemon, you could then print from the command line but not from cups. To check this (wild) guess: on the client we should search for binaries with name lpr. We should look at the cups configuration file on the server to see whether the client has appropriate privileges. Andreas
