This is reasonable, in a way, because it DOES print the document, except for the first few chrs in each line. :-((( Any ideas much appreciated. More things to check? Maybe hunt around on the net some more for information. Check the Samba list archives, and linuxprinting.org and see if that helps. Maybe ask the Mandrake Expert email list Rob -- Linux Desktop user since 2000, Home networker since shortly after.

MD 10 seems to recognize it OK even without the new driver, and it prints fine except for the margins. MD 9.1 also recognized it OK and it prints perfectly from MD 9.1, to the SAME printer, with NO margin problem. Linuxprinting also says it works perfectly. :-) RB I would suspect that either the module that you are using is not RB quite ready for that printer Which module would that be?
