That's the helluvit, it worked just a few weeks ago. I managed to get the thing to print and it looks like pink and greyscale now. Fairly new cartridge for color. I'm going blind on this, and royally peeved. Maybe I should take my own advice and just install centOS to get stable. I like the folks here, and would rather remain, but my project is ramping up into a semblance of a reality and re-inventing the wheel isn't one of my strong suites. I'm not a tool builder. I am a user with some modicum of experience, so I can usually hack and slash my way around. I had several printer selections using the same printer at different print resolutions. They're gone. Found a bugzilla on that one. Someone else with officially a similar problem. It used to work just fine until someone did something and it is home to roost on my machine. Damnit. Now it's 3:35 AM on the east coast and I keep hoping I'll fix it. I'm nuts. I know I'm not supposed to have "expectations of others", but in this case I do. Just print for me reliably. That's all I need, that and a good 25 cent cigar.
