Well, I reckon that since it's printing now, you're NOT going to
update/upgrade the drivers anytime soon...but if you're wanting to - you
can do the trick that I did on my RH box - which was to accidentally
delete the drivers AND the external program for the drivesr (ESP by the
CUPS people), then spend hours and hours trying to "hack" the system to
re-install the drivers for either lpr or cups....which broke even more
things...even printing to file...THEN, to top THAT off, I re-installed
the RPMS for the core printing functionality and ended up fragging my
kernel in the process...which led to a re-installation of the entire
system after a careful back of the important bits (scripts and
email)...that was several days down - just due to a simple muck up
THINKING that I could improve what was already working...hehehehe...

Well there is always that possibility, hell we are all just newbies groping our way
dimly in the darkness, looking for small beads of insight and wisdom as they
come our way.In the process it's inevitable that we will muck things up, but
as someone once said you cant make scrambled eggs without breaking them.

...and NOW I'm faced with trying to get a Mac to print on our network
(not fun)...which I think I'll pass off for as long as I possibly can
until I can figure out how to get it to print to a pdf, then use a
script to copy it to the spool locally and THEN print...

(..and no, I haven't been smoking or drinking anything strange)

Do you know I have never in my life seem an Applemac, occassionally
I wonder what they might look like, seems to be one of those machines
that history circumvented , perhaps unwisely, but with no practicle
knowledge to go by I'm unable to judge.
