Just want to inform, the problem that I could not print offline was solved with the help of a certain Jorgeu from Venezuela, in Dropline-Gnome-Forum, Slackware Discussions under "Unable to Print Offline". Jorgeu asked me what the output is of /sbin/route when offline. There was none. From which he concluded correctly that it is a loopback configuration issue. He told me then to input the following command: # route add 127.0.0.0 dev lo and behold Jorgeu was right: And you should be printing offline without problems. And it seems to hold. This morning when I bootet I was offline and could print. Thank you Jorgeu!! -- Peter - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
