Ric I see the point in being able to automatically configure the system for a printer (e.g. laptops that roam). But I'd far rather than auto-setup had a manual trigger (i.e. push this button to re-configure). I find auto features often get things wrong. For that sort of reason, I always disabled the kudzu thing that runs at startup. I can manually run kudzu *if* I change a system. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
