Dear Alan & All, Thank you Alan so much for your help. I have lpd installed
and working now. Whew! I had to have some printing working. Now that I have
it installed it reminded me why I was so happy to have cups in 7.2. The print
is a little too light, wavy, and uneven plus about every 5 lines I get print
over print so that it is just a blur. I had this same problem in 7. How can I
improve this printing and get rid of the blur?
Another question. My cups in 7.2 had worked well and looked good. Would it be
possible to install all of the cups files from 7.2 into my LM8? Should that
work since the LM8 cups files did not work at all for me? I will not consider
this if I can substantially improve the quality of my lpd.
Thanks so very much for your help. Sincerely, Marcia
