There are only three communications, and they did not seem helpful. Used Google: opensuse list archive lppasswd I am kind of desperate here. The XP machine may be down for the count, and the only thing sort of working is this Linux machine which I cannot print from, for no obvious reason--it was working fine, even tho only with the color printer, and all of a sudden, blooie! Is there anyone that anyone knows on eastern Long Island, NY that might be able to make this thing work? I suppose that I could wipe and reinstall, but I have about 4 MB of data--from this list--that I would like to keep, and no CD or DVD writer on the machine, and I'm a bit worried about trying to add one while everthing else is in flux. --doug > > -- > Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 > http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org > HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 > OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
