Thanks George. Appreciate your input. Still, it is the same hardware talking to the same other hardware whether Linux or W$ and it works every time with W$ the problem has to be SMOP. (Simple Matter Of Programming) ... not hardware. My understanding is hal senses the hardware and determines the device info....is that not correct? (senses = probing the HW connections) DOesn't cuos use input from hal to build it's tables of available printers... If hal cannot find the printer (finds and IDs the cable ok) then cups has no chance to set the printer up. Don't really think the printer is "trying": to send anything until it's asked. If it is hal that is asking...and hal leaves before getting the HW answer back ...viola no printer. I still believe that hal leaves before the printer gets back to it after being polled... I have been wrong before though... Time for another beer. I'll let you know what I find. You know it can't be brain surgery if Gates can figure it out...;>D Bill
