Yet, your post sounds a bit of knee jerk reaction and a bit of venting. Neither of which does anyone any good. To counter your reaction....I've been using RHEL for quite a few years and never had a printing problem. Well, maybe that isn't quite accurate. I did have a few problems about 2 or 3 years ago when I changed my printer configuration and forgot a few tricks or maybe the tricks changed. Too long ago to recall. Anyway, that doesn't mean that updates in Fedora don't break things from time to time. But, when it does happen it is a good idea to report the problem (a bug or on this list) and then report the fix. Just venting...and not giving any clues is just not being helpful. Some may even consider it to be whining. FWIW, instead of venting....maybe you could have told folks what your problem is/was and they would have responded with "Oh, yes, I've seen that...the fix is....". -- For courage mounteth with occasion. -- William Shakespeare, "King John" -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
