I think people are overreacting a bit here. Hi Greg
Believe me, I tried to install it ;) I googled and tried various work arounds to no avail. The solution apparently is to compile the package from source and change some settings that I didn't quite understand (this is in ppc).

Well, from my own experience, downgrading to an older version has brought back my printing within minutes after struggling with xprint for several days Regards Clive -- http://www.clivemenzies.co.uk strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
