If it's of any help at all, I'm using a Brother HL2070N as a network printer with Centos 5. I've set it up as an ipp printer using the centos (RH) gui print config tool, and it works fine for me.o Here's the entry from /etc/cups/printers.conf: <DefaultPrinter brother-HL2070N-net> Info network access to brother printer in bedroom Location bedroom DeviceURI ipp://192.168.2.99:631/ipp State Idle StateTime 1199233224 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> I'm using the default printer driver that is offered by system-config-printer. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.
