After explaining to others how to use cups to print through a print server and print to a local printer I have come up with a "situation". On my machine I print both through a remote print-server and to a local printer. Well if I put the address of the server in the client.conf file the definitions of the printers on server eventually come to my machine and I can print to them. But as long as that server line is in the client.conf file my machine cannot see or access the local printer. So last night I commented out the line and I can now print to my local printer, but I can mysteriously continue to print to the printers on the print-server. Well that is a little surprising. Can anyone explain this or give me another solution to allow me to print to both types of printers? -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
