i dont know why (and dont really care :) )
but i setup another machine next to me (identical hardware) with mandrake
7, and it works fine.. and i saw it was using lpd, not lprng, so i did an
apt-get instll lpd (had to change my sources.list as the main debian site
doesnt appear to have it) it removed lprng and installed lpd and after a
few quick tweaks it works fine now :)) so far at least only printed 1 text
file.
thanks again!
