Check out the logs in /var/log/cups for hints. I think I've seen this behavior with ghostscript problems, but it probably be any number of things. --Todd On Sun, 6 Jul 2003 17:45:53 -0400 Antonio Rodr0X <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a HP Deskjet 895Cse pluged to /dev/lp0 > It shows config

That sure doesn't help much. Try turning up the log level to "debug" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, and restarting cupsd or rebooting. Also check the page and access logs if you haven't already. --Todd On Sun, 6 Jul 2003 19:29:30 -0400 TR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There is really not much there.
