Thank you, that helped some. It seems that I was loosing lp over a reboot - but I have to investigate. Just for now hwinfo shows: Parallel 00.0: 10900 Printer [Created at parallel.154] Unique ID: ffnC.AOY5FSxcvwC Parent ID: YMnp.ecK7NLYWZ5D Hardware Class: printer Model: "HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 920C" Vendor: "HEWLETT-PACKARD" Device: "DESKJET 920C" Device File: /dev/lp0 Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #11 (Parallel controller) Anyway I still don't get a printout. CUPS-setup via http://localhost:631 still does not show lp. But with KDE I can configure the printer, CUPS then sees it. But when I submit a printjob I get the error: "Printer not connected". I will close shop now and go on tomorrow. Thank you again Cheers, Eike -- Eike Lantzsch ZP6CGE Casilla de Correo 1519 Asuncion / Paraguay Tel.: 595-21-578698 FAX: 595-21-578690
