Hey, I was wondering if you thought it might be
time to call a vote on nuking this topic.?
I've enjoyed the volley, and learned a lot,
but back to linux?

Or will it peter out on it's own?

:)

(hope my lines wrap)
Tamara

I have a Canon bjc4000 and I haven't had any problems printing to it
(ok, it took me a while to figure out that my lpt port had been turned
off in the bios for windoze). I've never even used the printer setup.
Is the printer in your /etc/printcap file? I'm a linux novice so
that's about as much as I know about printing. ;-)
