Editing client.conf is a hack.

It does not ask the print message what program generated it. Have your looked in the error_log and access_log in /var/log/cups. What error messages are being generated. Give us those messages and maybe your problem can be diagnosed. Now you will notice inn the last few fedora versions client.conf which used to be filled with potential configuration lines is now empty. This is because cups functionality has changed significantly. So in most cases client.conf can be ignored. -- ======================================================================= "Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed." -- Robin, The Boy Wonder ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
