Devon, To be sure, I first blew away all ximian rpms and did a full reinstall, to eliminate that problem.
I then used up2date and performed all the updates, which went fine (didn't upgrade the kernel) The steps you outlined seemed to go fine. But, when I send a test page to the printer, I get maybe one blinking light, maybe a blank page, but not a printed page. If I do echo hello | lpr, I get a message about no printer defined. Any further thoughts? John On 11/18/01, 04:58:27PM -0500, Devon wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Sunday 18 November 2001 04:31 pm, John P.
