If you could install glibc.i686. I guessed I could do it. Thinking there must be a compatible glibc.i686, I searched for mirrors and I found the needed version on a mirror, at arsc.edu. I don't know why yum couldn't find a similar version of the packages -- both glibc and nss-softkn-freebl 32-bit -- but after downloading the packages, I did a local install, and from there a bit of fooling with system-config-printer, and I'm printing. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
