Incidentally, I tried running Fedora-10 again on the machine to which the printer is attached (I kept it on another partition) and printing worked fine. The only major difference I could see is that httpd was running on the printer-machine, and I gave http as my choice during printer setup on the laptop. But I assumed this just meant CUPS used the http protocol, not the httpd server?

I think I saw an option to clean the print-head, which must be good ... -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
