PS What exactly is your printer problem. That would be more profitable to discuss here than media differences.
I've already started a thread on the printer problem. The short story is: There seems to be nothing wrong with it. It simply doesn't work. It's an Epson Stylus Photo 785EPX (USB) printer. This machine is multi-boot, with WinXP, and Win2k residing on a different disk. Under those two OS's, it prints fine, so I know it's not the hardware. Under this version of Linux, it won't print. At all. The system "sees" the printer, and Yast correctly identifies it, and configures it. But when you send a job to it, nothing comes out. There's nothing in the logs that helps either. I went through them with another member of this list. I even updated cups, hoping that would help. No joy. I'm at a total loss. If you have any ideas, or suggestions, I'm very open at this point. -Ric
