You can also put that line in ~/.bash_profile. I don't seem to have an /etc/cups/client.conf file. I do have a cupsd.conf file there, however. I did use the CUPS_SERVER=localhost command, but it didn't help. Still couldn't get Adobe Reader to print to the 7400DN (or any other printer). > > And why is an Adobe product using Ghostscript, eh?

The printer in question has genuine Adobe PS Level 3, plus some version or another of PCL, and (I thought) the new Adobe PDF print engine. Does Adobe Reader not provide its own image to the printer? However, the above questions are idle curiosity. At the moment I have the problem resolved with a workaround. I closed Adobe Reader and opened the PDF in Okular. Okular was just thrilled to send it to the printer and the printer was so happy to have a file to print that it output all five copies that I wanted without a complaint. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
