Hi, I still have not been able to resolve the print problem I have been having. I believe it is probably a combination of the susepro 9.1 and samba 3.0.9-2.6-suse interactions as the two systems on the lan have had the same problem of losing their printer and then not being able to regenerate them. I tried to access cups via //localhost:631/ with no success. I have tried a number of approaches: upgraded kde to v3.4; taken the unit out of the lan but nothing works so I am hoping somebody out there will have suggestion[s] which will solve the problem. Following is a copy of the /var/log/cups/errorlog: Listening to 0:631 E [31/Jul/2005:18:40:00 -0400] Unknown Location directive # on line 811.

It seems to me to have the key? Thanks for your input. -- Cheers, Serge [Naggar Consulting]
