Re: [newbie] Printing (Actually NO-Printing) in 9.1
Just wondering, did you check the md5sums of the ISO's and bootable CD's? Your problems sound like a bad burn to me... rob wrote: Greetings, I am interested in whether anyone else has had printing problems in 9.1.

Yes, Checked all three ISOs with MD5sums...all were fine. I figger if we had a problem there we'd have had a bigger problem than just printing. rob On Sun, 2003-03-30 at 22:57, Jason Greenwood wrote: Just wondering, did you check the md5sums of the ISO's and bootable CD's?

Re: [newbie] Printing (Actually NO-Printing) in 9.1
Stephen, Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, I was messing with Webmin for most of the day, under the assumption that I'd be able to fix things that way. No go. I can't remember exactly what errors I was getting with it but it certainly didn't fix things...I'll try it again tomorrow since I'm so brain dead from this and it's time for bed, I'll not be able to post any usable error data or misconfiguration reports that result. More later... rob On Sun, 2003-03-30 at 22:55, Stephen Kuhn wrote: On Mon, 2003-03-31 at 13:40, rob wrote: Greetings, I am interested in whether anyone else has had printing problems in 9.1.
