LPRng works. > Turboprint was what it took to get Caldera 3.1.1 beta to print for me. This is an "ace in the hole" for dealing with recalcitrant printers. Were it not for my previously mentioned financial problems I'd willingly pay for it. It is a worthwhile product.
I had no problem with CUPS in Caldera 3.1. The CUPS problem with Libranet 2.0 is that it has to be installed and set up after the basic system is installed. I have discovered some sort of interaction with WP8.1. It seems that installing WP8.1 before CUPS will crap out the CUPS installation. If WP8.1 is installed after CUPS is up and running, there is no problem. (I'd rather not go into how many hours and installations it took me to be able to make that statement.) Personally, I'd have been happier if Libranet 2.0 would have kept Apsfilter. -- Leon A.
