hi al, well, my experience with cups has been so darn good that i cannot hesitate to recommend it -- just fantastic. i have the kitchen sink installed -- cups-drivers-pnm2ppa-1.9-1.20020617.6 cups-drivers-1.9-1.20020617.6 cups-drivers-hpijs-1.9-1.20020617.6 cups-1.1.17-0.2 cups-libs-1.1.17-0.2 foomatic-1.9-1.20020617.6 Omni-foomatic-0.7.0-6 you'll maybe need to modify the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to allow admin to access the web page from an ip address other than localhost. once you have done that, restart the cups daemon and start a web browser with http://your.host.com:631 and enter root/rootpassword. the web interface is so nice and obvious, that you'll have up it and running in zero time. the remote web admin is extremely useful if your out and about and printer problem occurs ... cheers christopher cuse -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
