Easy no! > Aaron, I've discovered why it was working. I am not using network cups at all, by the look of it, but samba printing. This workstation was the last of the three installs I did, and I had a samba problem. I could not browse the network, and I could not see the printers attached to the samba server. Once I found the error and corrected it network browsing worked and all the printers are visible to system-config-printer. Printing works perfectly. This does rather beg the question as to whether I have ever used cups for remote printing, but that's not, I think, an issue that needs to worry me. Anne
