If you read carefully the bug thread #82, that's pretty much what I did. But once I found what was wrong, I also tried to fix it. That's probably why I love samba printing and you choose to hate it. If something like that happens with a WinDoze, once you've exhausted all the mouse clicks prescribed by Mr. Ballmer, well, tough luck. With open source, you dig deeper and you realize the software has been written by people like you and me - not perfect, but perfectionable. Nothing stops you from making it work, if by chance it's broke. The maintainers have probably fixed it in 3.0 in such a way that the sysadmin reporting routine doesn't have to be taken out of the loop. I thought, what the hell, I'm the only printer admin on my system, so why should I want to know that I've installed all those printers if I know already. But if you want to know exactly that you have installed the goddamn z53, there's no way around waiting until 3.0 is safe enough for you and buchan. I don't know, it's not everyone's beer, but it was fun picking up the pieces of the puzzle (different components like templates, patch files etc.) to make my distro's samba.spec amenable to an rpm build, i.e. compile the whole samba suite without an error. You learn a lot like that. And you get the job done. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
