Hiya all, Overall, I am absolutely astounded at Mandrake 7. It finally supports everything in my box. :D Couple of minor problems, though. This message is the first two of four problems. I have a PPA printer, the Deskjet 710C (flames to /dev/null, please). I've been able to install and configure the PPA Ghostscript printer filter just fine under printcap. It prints absolutely perfectly, color and everything, while I'm under root. But when I try to print from my normal user account, it chokes and does nothing. By what I can tell from the system logs, it looks like there's a good 'ol permissions error in lpd or somewhere around there. Any ideas here? On the same track, sound under my SB Live is just fine. I can play CDs, play MP3s, do MIDIs under Timidity (nice little program... good idea), and etc. But none of the GNOME sound effects play under my regular account. Oddly enough, if I log in as root, they play fine. Then if I relogin under my normal account, they play. I'm suspecting some initialization problem in the GNOME sound server. Ideas here also? FYI, I'm not running EsounD... that's a whole other set of problems. Any commments are appreciated! --Scott Balmos [EMAIL PROTECTED]
