Russ First before uninstalling, are you sure it is not already working? If you try printing from any KDE application like KWord you will see a drop down list of available printers. Is yours listed? To remove all the printer software just open Mandrake Control Centre>SoftwareManagement>Remove software enter 'cups' in the search box, and uninstall the cups RPM which shows up as the serach result. Uninstalling just 1 cups rpm will result in the entire cups printing system being uninstalled. Then go to the Hardware>Printer section and reinstall your printer again. Be sure to choose 'cups' as your printing system. It will download all the cups packages and installthem again. At the end you should be able to print a test page derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
