If you have spaecified a specific printer then in the Properties menu you can't change the lpr line both in F14 and F16. If you choose a Custom printer you don't get a Properties menu but you do get a lpr line in which you can type any parameters you want. I assume that is because the with a specific printer your lpr parameters are predetermined. I don't understand the following statement, In case it matters: the Fedora machines are set up with cups just pointing to a central print server running RHEL 6.8 How are you doing that? Is the print server on a different subnet? -- ======================================================================= Aliquid melius quam pessimum optimum non est. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
