Further to the above rants, having done my daily dist-upgrade 2006-04-14 appears to have done a lot to rectify the situation:
1. Initially the dialogue is ppoulated with [EMAIL PROTECTED] .. If I sleect "Advanced" and type in ipp://roo:631 ... etc, the dialogue will automagically change and create a local printer with the correct ppd details. Yeah. Paper size! 2. Log out/in. It remembers the deault. cool. 3. Now cupsd is premanantly taking 7% (AMD64 box) to 16% (PPC box) of the CPU. Think I'd like my cycles back. -- setting a default printer does not work https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/38149 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
