I think in recent 2.5.x kernels the on fire message has been removed sadly. I read a bit on the history of the message, it dates back many years(10-20+?), back when printers were often in other rooms and if there was a problem, it was likely a jam or something and the printer would heat up real bad, and catch fire. but generally that message(last I remember) just means an unknown error was detected on the printer, it's supposed to get your attention fast so you can determine what the problem is. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
