The LaserJet 4L works just fine with CUPS. The parallel port connector was plugged into the motherboard wrong - offset by one row of pins in one of those contortionist locations behind the power supply. I feel lucky that I didn't fry both the motherboard and the printer. Geordie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
