Dylan, Thanks for the pointers. I pulled up a terminal, typed "su" as my son-in-law has had me do, then typed in my password, then the line you gave me for CUPS. I got "command not found"
My printer has been connected to this computer and working well since early last November. The cable is connected securely, printed out the test page. The orange light is blinking indicating either paper is needed or is ready to print. But when I put in paper it pulls all the pages through and types lines of symbols/etc. across the top of each page. I have dusted it out, tried to make sure there's not anything in there that's keeping it from working. Actually, when this first happened, my son-in-law did something that he said was to "clean out the old jobs that were still in there" and it worked for two days. Then it started the same process again. Any more ideas? Thanks!!! Alice _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug
