First, without asking, it installs: libijs0, printer-filters, nc, foomatic, scli, gimpprint, printer-utils, and xpp, whether you need them or not. Also it does this in 3 (!) steps. It should wait until you've configured a printer, and only install the ones you need for it to work.
Then, if you turn all the auto-detection off, and go to add a printer, it assumes it's a local printer, and doesn't give you the choice of it being a remote lpd printer or anything else. Finally, after adding a printer, going back and changing it to remote network printer, and trying the test page, I got lots of garbage. It's an HP LaserJet 4, which I selected. I probably should have just selected PostScript, but I remember older printerdrakes selecting postscript for you if you select a PS-capable printer. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
