And it has no "select which printer things should come out from". Which reminds me of an recent episode with the windows printing system: I had borrowed an account (which i did not know the password of, and its owner was not here), and was using a speciality app which created result list from a race (etiming... Avoid it at all means. I think kernel hacking is easier than using that app... UGH!). What happens? Well, i hit print, and the nice old little hp inkjet hooked up to it began printing. Problem was, that that print was of the very-many-to-many-sheets-for-and-old-inkjet type. So, i hit "abort". Absolutely NOTHING happens. Hmm... what now? Pull the plug of the printer, and hope windows can cope. It could. Partially. At least now i could abort the job... Or not. When i switched on the little guy again, it started spewing out paper with one line of rubish on each. After troubling around with it for something like 20 minutes, i was finaly able to make it stop printing. Problem was: not only did i make THIS printer stop, i also completely b0rked the poor box'es printing system. Any job sent to the system, ended up at a random printer somewhere around the building, or in /dev/null... Only way to find out, was to check every #$@& printer, and hope nobody got there before me (these list wasn't official yet => a bit sensitive stuff...) Hmm... What did i do when my printer at home went borked under Linux? I did a /etc/init.d/cups restart, and it fixed it. Hmm... Maybe i can do that to windows to? Turns out i could. Manage -> services -> system-services -> printer subsystem -> restart. Print. Paper went to /dev/null no matter what i tried. ARGH! What then? Hmm... Aha! print it to a file, upload it to the linux-server and print it from there. Or not. The gui didn't have such a function... In everything, i used something like 50 minutes chasing that ¤@$§ print subsys. And reboot wouldn't be possible - i didn't really know the password... Lets only hope the reboot i did before i left on friday has had some effects. I NEED those prints... Kyrre
