Hi Bob, First, just so you know, there is a list specific to 7.2 if you're interested. https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/enigma-list My printer is an Epson Stylus Color 880. The driver included with 7.2 was broken for these printers. I don't know if it applies to some HP printers as well. Have you applied all the printing updates? printconf*, Omni, foomatic, and ghostscript all have updates. After updating, the following _should_ solve the problem. I installed the updates and removed the printer definition I had via printconf-gui. Then I did: rm -rf /var/spool/lpd/* redefine the printer via printconf-gui /sbin/service lpd stop rm -rf /var/cache/foomatic/{pcache,compiled}/* /usr/sbin/printconf-backend --force-rebuild /sbin/service lpd start Have a look at: https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/enigma-list/2001-November/002543.html If you follow that thread, it gives more details. Hope that helps, - -D - -- pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/pgpkey.txt - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8OEtEeMAUbzJhSVcRAokuAKCCwxR17tXaP/+pYh/mQa1u2EM16gCdGdiN ALwxUWXaf3Ybq4RxLLDiXDM= =zO3g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
