By. DAVID. Have you tried using printtool to reconfigure and test the printers? How is it configured? Have you tried setting up a printer on lp0 in printtool and print a test page? David, Just a thought here...have you checked to see if there is a newer or better driver for your specific printers? You can look at http://lcewww.et.tudelft.nl/~haver/linux/ to see if there is a driver for your models. This is where I got the driver for mine. It also has great installation instructions! Lance
