One printer worked pretty well, after some futzing around, but the HP Laserjet 2200D, that worked under 10.0, (which had its own problems with KMail,) will print, sometimes, _after about an 1 hour or more delay_. I reported this to the list, but have not had any reply, much less cure. This printer is listed as 100% working on the Linux Printing website. And it was, under 10.0, but since 10.0 ruined my mail with Chinese characters, I had to go back to 9.3. The printer that worked pretty well may have broken of its own accord, but the Laserjet that worked under 10.0 still works perfectly under Windows, even tho Windows itself doesn't work perfectly--or even well. It just doesn't like 9.3, or vice versa. I think that this should be made clear. Probably SuSE 9.3's fault, yes, absolutely. I am hoping 10.3 is pristine, and I'm waiting. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
