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. That is just so childish not to have a correction for that kind of simple "bug". No FAQ, nothing... I had similar bug at home, and was able to correct it, but the same thing does not work at the office.. Don't ask me why, it's over my head. So printing is a big pain, if it does not work "out-of-the-box"... If it does, don't touch it! There is just so bad bloatware-documents, and they are of no use in real situations.. much nice things You can do with lprng, but anyway... This evening I tried to make Logitech quickcam pro 4000 to work, but it just won't... Again frustruation.. Jaska
