Did all that, I've checked the samba configuration, user and login stuff, a dozen times. Once again, before with RH9, I switched to LPRng, did nothing whatsoever else, and it took off like the proverbial bat. Fedora isn't even giving me the option AFTER I installed LPRng. Once I installed it and uninstalled CUPS, the print system switcher (which I looked at just to see if LPRng would finally show up) told me I had NO printing system installed. > With Red Hat 8.0 I had given up on this also.

I've been into that program until it's sick of me. No help. Ditto for the browser-based CUPS configuration. It still doesn't work. -- Dave Washburn http://www.nyx.net/~dwashbur Insert clever epigram here...or not
