[For some reason my mail server is getting kind of screwy, not downloading messages while I'm off-line, so I had to track down your reply from http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=redhat-list&m=106288914003450&w=2 and I've pasted it below.] > Marc, > It has been awhile since I set this up and I do have the printcap > entries for these printers because I used lprng and printconfig > to set them up in 7.3 before I switched to CUPS. I will say when Can I ask you why you switched from lprng to CUPS?

I hope this helps also I hope I'm getting closer... -- Marc Adler -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
