As they say in the windoze world -- "Gee we never have that problem" when referring to hangs/freezes/BSOD, etc. In fact, my previous post brought numerous posts about "get your IT people doing their job..." to paraphrase. (which, yes I did take minor offense at) Well, in the same frame. I have configured dozens/hundreds of printers on Linux for the past several years, and in all the time have only had a screwy set up once. I have had zero problems with printing with either LPRng or Cups. My point is not that "yes it works for me", but that there are simply screwy things in this world of computers. Not every computer works the same as every other one. Those of you who have never had windoze freeze up -- wonderful. My users install/un-install dozens of packages a week for testing. The registry gets so munged, there is nothing you can do about it other than to re-install or continually run reg-fix programs. Again, a simple point -- each environment is different. There is not much we can do about it. You might think I am not skilled at windoze if systems keep freezing. Well, I have dozens of systems that never freeze. Some that do. Who is to say? Oh well... -Kat On Wed, 2002-10-30 at 16:15, jaakko tamminen wrote:

I agree 100%
We have Linux-router / printer server in the office where I'm working.
It has been up and running closer to 300 days now. No reboot, no problems with routing/hackers/mails/proxy...
But the lprng printing stuff still prints out an extra form after every printing job.
I have printed out (!) the full lprg manual (close to 300 pages), gone thru that, but there is just no help whatsoever. <snip>
