It's the other way round, --newuse with -e is pointless, as -e re-emerges everything anyway. --newuse re-emerges packages that have had a change of USE flags since they were previously merged. Does /dev/lp0 still exist? What error message do you get when you use lpr? What did you emerge? genlop -l will tell you this (you may need to emerge genlop). Knowing what you merged/updated will go a long way to giving a clue as to where the fault may lie. -- Neil Bothwick There are some micro-organisms that exhibit characteristics of both plants and animals.

That's par for the course. 'man cupsd' or an actual cups executable will give you the info. > Ideas are most welcome Check the printer from http://localhost:631 to see what the status of it is...
