I have set up a printer using CUPS called "laser". Its actually a Brother Laser printer connected to a windows machine across my network. It works great from within KDE. However, I have installed lyx - to try it out. This is NOT a kde/qt application - I think its a gtk. It running in a kde window. When I want to print it pops up a dialog box with a blank text box for me to fill in the name of the printer. Anyone any idea what to fill in to get it to print on my CUPS "laser". I tried the obvious (ie laser), it took a long time thinking before coming back to me as though it had done it, but there is no trace of a job on CUPS and nothing came out of the printer. - -- Alan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8SJjA1mf3M5ZDr2kRAmIcAJ0UK4ENmKjnsMDmkzdwzoUp3+0COACgkw2m jRFDpwc6J57rMltt/TdpH1E= =GBHT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
