I rather doubt it. > How do I diagnose this problem? I'd start at CUPS and work back. http://localhost:631/printers Try printing a test page. You may need to purge old jobs left over from aborted attempts to get things going. I'm not sure if that will be necessary in your case or not. I've had a lot of trouble out of a POS USB winprinter, and when it (the proprietary, closed source, binaries only POS driver) dies, it will never pick up the old jobs in the queue after I restart everything, and it just sits there until I go in and clean up the queue by hand and start over. After you get a test page and purge the jobs, try lpr again. Make sure you have cupsys-bsd installed. If you want better control of printing from OO.o and the like, try configuring it to use kprinter. (Though actually I haven't bothered with this since the newest OO.o, which seems to offer pretty much the same level of toner saving/etc. control via its native interface from File->Print.) -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
