Hi Peter, Sorry for the delay. Just getting logged in for the first time on this somewhat cold & dreary Sunday. Again, I don't imagine ANY of what we're talking about here will work for a Windows machine printing to a Linux cups server if a Linux machine on the same network cannot print to that server. Possibly this at least partially an issue about the printer being 'published'? On the Administration page of the cups server I've got the first two options checked and the last 4 unchecked, basically saying to share with others any printers on this machine. I tried to copy the text but it didn't work and xsnap seems to be failing which stops me from taking a small screen shot. If I can get that fixed with an emerge I'll send along a little png file. The other two changes are fairly simple. I apologize for not including them before. My bad for being lazy. In /etc/cups/mime.types near the end: ######################################################################## # # Raw print file support... # # Comment the following type to prevent raw file printing. # application/octet-stream # # End of "$Id: mime.types 6649 2007-07-11 21:46:42Z mike $". In mime.convs near the end: # pstoraster is part of GPL Ghostscript... application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 100 pstoraster ######################################################################## # # Raw filter... # # Uncomment the following filter to allow printing of arbitrary files # without the -oraw option. # application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - # # End of "$Id: mime.convs.in 6761 2007-08-02 17:58:59Z mike $". Again, very sorry for the delay if this turns out to be the important factor. Cheers, Mark
