I agree with ET that mixing cooker and non-cooker is not the best solution in the world. But I found a better solution, which I wrote about yesterday, but essentially what I did was open MCC, Hardware, and Printers. That itself took forever to open. Because my printer is shared on another Mandriva machine, I hit the option that turns off local printing, turns off the local CUPS server, and sends print jobs directly to the remote (in this case, on the other side of my desk) printer. Now the speed is back to normal. I'm guessing that CUPS is incorrectly ignoring the default printer setting and trying to locate a local printer before using a remote printer, which may or may not have been fixed in the cooker version. At any rate, all is well with my machine. Miark ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
