Or less. I see there were rpms for it, so I'll try them first, right now in fact. Oh oh, it seems to be looking for kernels in the 2.6.31.corner: [root@coyote rpms]# rpm -Uvh Epson-MFD-* Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:pipslite ########################################### [ 50%] Install Message > Described entry of LITE in services.

I keep a backup of the previous version, and the only way to do that is with touch, then rm because if rm can't find it, its showstopper error to my script. Running /usr/lib/pipslite/setup I set it to be lp3 and saved it. So I jumped through a few hoops, and added it to cups, but it won't be of any use to me as it only has 2 paper size settings, A4 and some small photo size. Ok, the scanner; That looks easy enough, but again the size of the scan is stuck at A4 and no option in the gui can change it. I told it to copy a cups test sheet on letter and the printer is merrily munching away, using the cups NX400 lp2 preset. I will also change it to use the lp3 version as this color looks a wee bit washed out. It also expanded the image to fit an A4 I believe, the upper, lower and left edges are trimmed quite a bit. I wonder it there are USian, letter sized downloads available... Lacking the scan area trims of xsane, it isn't anywhere near as usable as xsane is. Thanks again Louis, at least I know it works now. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
