Starting with the very basic basics. Using the system-config-printer gui: Looking at the 'Printer Properties' dialog: I don't see a driver field, but I do see a Make and Model: field that currently shows "Brother HL-1250 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.4 on 192.168.1.7" When I click on the 'Change ...' button I get a list of Brother printers that does *not* include the DCP 7020. [That is why I tried the HL 1250] HOWEVER ... When I experiment on another machine with a different printer; and try to change the "Make and Model: field" for that printer the dialog that pops up does include the Brother DCP 7020 and the Foomatic/hl1250 driver. !!! I have double checked my connections, particularly the USB. Besides, the 'Device URI:" is correctly reading the address as 'usb://Brother/DCP-7020'. Both machines are running completely updated Fedora 12. I have thought of removing the printing application from the errant machine and re-installing but I want to be sure I get the right package(s). -- Regards Bill Fedora 12, Gnome 2.28 Evo.2.28, Emacs 23.1.1 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
