Thanks Kelly, that let me get it set up. I could access it, set it up. But it won't print. Here's what I've done: Slack 8.1 distro. Changed the cupsd.conf file per directions. Set up the printer like Jima sent. I can see the printer, ping it, can't print to it. If I send a test job from the browser set up, I don't get any errors. I get that the job was "cancelled." If I try to resubmit it, I get "-- Error:client-error-not-possible." Cups is running okay. I looked at the man pages for both lpr and lp. In looking at the lpr mans, it showed a variety of options that aren't supported by cups. Didn't see anything too much on the man page for lp. I've also tried to send a print job via "lp -dhp960c test.txt" and it doesn't do anything either. I even went so far as to add a class, but it didn't make any changes either. Does cups also require another piece to run as well? It is frustrating to say the least. I worked when I had RH 7.2 installed... Shawn sfertch at real-time.com http://www.mn-ttkd.org
