Is this an upgrade, or a fresh > installation? It is a fresh install. I've never been successful trying to print to a Lexmark Optra E312 on a Windows 2000 machine here on my lan. I've posted the question back when I was running 7.3 and received some help, but I was never able to make it go. The I managed to get it to go as far as the win2k machine accepting the print job, and the data light flashes on the printer about half a dozen times, then goes out. The print job fails to come out. So it's like the printer is aborting the print job. So now that I've done a fresh install of 8.0, I thought I'd take a stab at it with cups. I was messing about and now I've got it screwed up somehow. I did follow the previous thread closely on this, but my problem didn't seem to be the same. In a nutshell, I'd just like to be able to print to the laser printer on that win2k machine. Whether cups or lpd does it, doesn't really matter to me. One question, after I run redhat-switch-printer, and then I run redhat-print-config, does the gui screen look the same for both cups and lpd? Maybe it's not running the cups gui config for me. Thanks, I'll keep muddling away with this. In the meantime I've set a lexmark z32 on my desk so I can fix my print manager. -- -=/>Thom Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) running Linux Kernel 2.4.18-17.8.0 Uptime: 9:53am up 2 days, 21:29, 1 user, load average: 1.35, 1.52, 1.58 Registered Linux User #214499 http://counter.li.org -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
