Well I am not completely sure but maybe this information will help. Do not configure cups printers with printconf, printconf-gui or system-config-printer. All Cups printers should be configured using the Cups web interface (localhost:631) Cups postscript printdriver files are in the directory /usr/share/cups/model So that is where your updated driver should be I assume. -- ======================================================================= For people who like that kind of book, that is the kind of book they will like. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
