Hi Erik I think I originally set up the printer configurations (I have four, with settings for specific purposes) from Mandrake Control Center. Using the CUPS printer management tool I find that they are using Foomatic + hpijs. The problem is that my default setup is two-sided, two up, which is great for long documents in relatively large fonts, as many web pages are, but impossible on some pages, which I would like to print out in 1-up from another printer setting.
Not sure that this helps Marcia, though, as her problem is more serious - no printing at all from the web, I think Anne On Monday 23 Sep 2002 8:42 pm, you wrote: > Marcia and Anne: > > I may have missed it, but I haven't seen info on how the printer was set > up originally?
