I've been trying to print from win2k and WinXP to a cups owned printer (samba) without success. CUPS to CUPS works ok. What I'm seeing in the cups error log is Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'! Hint: Do you have the raw printing rules enabled? Anyone know what I'm missing or need to do ? Thanks Gary Ernst

Follow the Hint. Uncomment the appropriate lines in /etc/cups/mime.types and mime.convs. Then maybe rccups restart. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Did you remember to run the lppasswd command as stated in the release notes? Probably not. Cups is now more secure and has/requires it's own auth method. Run lppasswd -g sys -a <user to add> and supply a password. That user will be able to make modifications to cups. Ken
