hi, check to see that your lpd daemon is set to on # netstat -an | grep 515 next set lpd to start automatically if you have not already done so # chkconfig --level 345 lpd on try to start the lpd service #service lpd start also, do check out cups -- it's just great -- i beleive that it will be red hat policy to support more and more cups over the next releases cheers christopher cuse -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
