Takes me about half an hour if the driver for the printer is in gs-gpl or gs-esp. I use standard lpd and apsfilter. If I need fancy access control then I use LPRng. If you don't mind brining in cupsys, you can use LPRng, foomatic-printfilters, and foomatic-GUI and do the setup that way. I've never done a full CUPS-only setup; never had the need. Then, its just opening the lpr port in the server's firewall. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
