OK, so maybe you could try the cups WWW admin tool, either through <K>,<configutation>,<printing> or using konq or whatever browser you prefer and go to (URL) http://localhost:631/ and try to add your printer or modify the one you find there. This will require you to log in as 'root' when queried! It's a (imho) a very nice tool to poke around and see what's going and whether your printer is working or not. BTW I'm not in the clear whether this is a local printer or not, but I expect it is. If not(i.e. remote), simply installing cups will suffice (no drivers) and it'll find the printer for you. Good luck, HarM
