In theory that's all I need, too - and our printers support it. But they also support to print from 6 different trays and a _lot_ of other settings - and that's the point where you need a ppd file. Luckily OSX uses cups, too, so often you're able to get good ppds from the producer, at least for the more expensive models. Using them was very painless so far - it just works. -- Bernd Zeimetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bzed.de/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
