Remove any eyeglasses, hats, caps, earrings, etc. Now place your forehead flat against any nearby wall. Pivot your body back at the waist a bit, then slam your head forcefully into the wall. Repeat this until you either lose consciousness, or you decide you don't want to try to get Linux to print to a Windows printer. :) (It can be done in theory. If you can find a set of instructions that will actually get you there, you should turn around and go buy a lottery ticket while you're at it. You'll probably win big.) (As a disclaimer, I should add that my own experiences were probably tainted by the particularly obscure nature of the printer I was trying to get working in this fashion. Obviously the instructions I found were an afterthought, extrapolated from other, related instructions, with a lot of "probably" and "this might work" and "try doing it like this" thrown in.) -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
