I used to have this too. Solved it by installing cups (cupsys,cupsys-bsd) and hpijs. You might also wish to install cupsomatic-ppd which allready contains a large number of ppd's. If there isn't a ppd for your printer in the cupsomatic-ppd package, look at http://www.linuxprinting.org/ to find find an appropriate ppd file for your printer. It also contains a lot of info regarding printing in Linux. Regards, Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
