There is an application called 'kjobviewer' which will allow you to cancel that print job. There is not a menu entry for it, so either start it from a terminal or use menudrake to create a menu entry. As for the printer itself. Is it just OpenOffice with the problem or does it print garbage in all apps? And have you tried rerunning printerdrake to check the printer configuration? derek BTW: Could you remove the "Reply To: " setting in your mozilla mail please? It is not necessary unless you want to receive emails on a different account to the one you send from. When used with a mailing list it makes responses go straight to you and not the list. -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
