(both told me I did'nt have permission but lynx gave me a second chance prompting me for username and password. This tool gave me access to some drivers which probably came with the one of the cups packages. Unfortunately although it made a reasonable job of the test page I still couldn't print ordinary ascii files and as I was running out of time reverted to using lpr and apsfilter. Apsfilter uses filters from ghostscript an produces excellent results. > It is very well documented, and of course www.cups.org has the documentation > online. IMHO the easiest Unix Printing system around. The quantity of documentation was great and I'm sure I'll eventually work it out but that will be a project for another day. regards, Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
