The only actual option I remember was whether or not to specify a ppd file. On my second attempt, I did so. To be sure, I'll check when I get home.

It's not always the printer, but it's always something. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Pessimist: The glass is half empty. Optimist: The glass is half full.
