Is that true? If so that is a mistake. Use the > web interface ans maybe your troubles will disappear. I am not using the Cups web page printer setup. I have tried both. George (the system-configure-printer gui) and Cups are supposed to be equivalent in FC6. (system-configure-printer gui is quite a mouthful, so I just call the little printer icon George). At least that is what I have been told Fedora is striving for. In any case, Cups gives me no joy, in fact it makes things worse by not printing anything ( but I haven't looked into why). > > > > I am baffled. -- Regards Bill, FC6
