So you need Xprint setup to print to a file as well. > } > As it now stands your choices are A) not print or B) downgrade to > } > a version that predates the brain damage. > [...] > > This is just FUD. Right the choices are A) not print, B) downgrade or C) install xprt-xprintorg. Personally I think people should try C before bitching too much. Mike -- Greedo shoots first?
