OK...I changed the "foomatic-configure" command to relect the drive to be used as: foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-DeskJet_5550 -c file:/dev/lp0 -n HP -d gimp-print-ijs When I connect to the printer via the web page on port :631 I can see that the hpijs driver was replaced by "gimp-print-ijs". I can still print from the command line and KDE but I still don't get a print menu or setup anyhwere that I see in Gimp. Even after unmerging Gimp and remerging I get the same results. So, now I'm very perplexed. Thanks, JBanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
