Mixing system-config-printer and cups web interface is a disaster in my experience. cups has some problems with local printers. Does your machine also print to other printers on the network, If so local printing is a little tricky. Let me know if that is the case let me know and I can help with this. cups is really better with HP printers so sometimes non-HP printers are a problem. If you are using cups printing then the default printer should be set by the lpoptions command although this is user specific rather than machine specific which is a pain. -- Aaron Konstam (210) 656-0355 akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
