I sent in post earlier on this topic, and did not see your response. Maybe you just missed it or you deemed it totally askew in its orientation. Yes, I, too, have a cups server providing print services to all my Linux workstation (windoze too but that a samba issue) "What you need to know is not what mandrakesoft or I have running but what you must do to get your stuff running. So I will re-post earlier posting in the hopes that it helps you. As I said earlier, it is a beginning to the trouble-shooting you need to do. Do not give up the fight and let that machine whip you.... Okay, there are some things to check out. Did you edit your /etc/cups/client.conf, /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, and your /etc/cups/printers.conf files. Put a vi on those files, or any editor app you like, and you will see they need some setup, mostly the name of the server running the cups service. If you need to see what the printers.conf should look like, just let me know. This is usually the best place to start the troubleshooting...." drjung and drjung again... -- J.
