Hi, I would highly suggest that you visit http://www.linuxprinting.org. This website is an invaluable resource for almost anything related to printing on GNU/Linux. It has a step-by-step procedure for configuring CUPS as your printing system, and it also has a driver database for lots of printers. Hope this helps, Malcolm [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------
