Thanks to every body for their input. I've switched over to CUPS and got at least one of my printers working (the local one). That was too easy. For some reason redhat-config-printer will not work on my system. New Question. Does anyone know how to get a samba printer working on cups? /etc/samba/smb.conf has: printcap name = cups load printers = yes printing = cups # service smb restart Here's what cups reports about the printer status: Description: HP2000C Location: HADES Printer State: idle, accepting jobs. Device URI: smb://HADES/HP2000C When I try and print a test page I get: Forbidden You don't have permission to access the resource on this server. Any clues? Thanks, t.

You must learn to tell what the river will do to you, and given those parameters see how you can live with it. You must absorb its force and convert it to your users as best you can. Even with the quickness and agility of a kayak, you are not faster than the river, nor stronger, and you can beat it only by understanding it." -- Strung, Curtis and Perry, _Whitewater_ -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
