Hello, I just took the plunge into Fedora Core 2 and I have a problem. The printer in my house is on a Windows machine, hence I have to SAMBA to it from my Linux box. When I was using Red Hat 9, I had no end of trouble trying to get CUPS to talk to this printer. I finally used the print system switcher to change it to LPRng, and the two machines lived happily after ever. When I moved to Fedora, I discovered to my chagrin that there was no LPRng package listed, and the print system switcher only listed CUPS, which is still giving me the same trouble as before. So I downloaded a tarball of LPRng, built and installed it, but it still doesn't show up as an option for printing systems; the print system switcher still only shows CUPS. But CUPS can't find this printer on the (Windows) network, so I have no print capability. I'd like to switch the system to LPRng rather than waste time continuing to fight CUPS. Can somebody help me figure out how to accomplish this? The printer is a Lexmark Z53 and the machine it's hooked to by USB is running Windows XP Professional; Samba version is 3.0.3-5. Feel free to let me know if any more info is needed. Thanks! -- Dave Washburn http://www.nyx.net/~dwashbur Insert clever epigram here...or not
