Hi, Fred. I just made the switch from Mdk (been with them since 6.0), and am very glad I did. No more Dependency Hell. Debian supports CUPS, so, presuming that u use CUPS, since it is the mdk default, you will have no printing problems with Debian. The name of the CUPS package is cupsys. -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | !
