Hi again, I've waited for some updates but it's still not ok! Opensuse 12.1 doesn't has the problem, but I don't know why my favorite distribution (Archlinux) still isn't able to print to side-by-side.
Does anybody know how to set up a printer using spadim. I always get the message, the filesystem is read only.... PLEEEEEAAAAASE does anybody know how to solve ONE of the problems?
