Update on my printing problem with my Lexmark 1100. I've done what was suggested, but still nothing comes out of the printer. Civileme pointed out that port 631 has to be open and said: >> when nmap is on your menu fire it up and do a straight scan of 127.0.0.1 for open ports. << I ran nmap and Port 631 was listed as open. Todd suggested: >> iptables --list -n Look for a line that has 631 or cups on it. If you're using the firewall, you won't see it. Call it a minor oversight, but the firewall blocks port 631 by default. << I did that and did not see a "631" or "cups" in the list. However, when I ran nmap Port 631 was listed as open. My guess is that the problem isn't with the port. This is a cheap winprinter, but it does have a driver for Linux and CUPS and I do get a nice test page out of it. When I give a print command or drag a file onto the prnter icon, nothing happens. Checking in Kups, I see the job listed as "processing." However, it never stops processing, even after giving it many minutes to finish. I finally remove the job because it's evident that nothing is going to come out of the printer. I've printed out a big stack of stuff on CUPS, printing in Mandrake, cups-o-matic, and this driver and unless someone has another suggestion, I'll work my way through all this material and see if I can figure out what's happening. If I'm successful I'll post what worked. Thanks! --Judy Miner
