Tom: Thanks for your reply. I have taken a different track. I have installed cups and removed lprold. I then installed the modified 5.50 rpm of Ghostscript and droped in the cups printer definition file from the set up disk now things are working. For the learning curve: 1.) The Lexmark E210 is a GDI printer, it is not postscript compatable, in the future I will look more carefully before buying. (ie. look beyond the marketing hype on the box that says runs in Linux.) 2.) It looks like Lexmark is not supporting the printer in Linux. I could not find any updated files on their site. So I am stuck with their modified 5.50 Ghostsciript install. 3.) Install was taliored for Red Hat 7.1. It was much too difficult to install it via the old linux printing system. So the switch to cups. To their credit they did have insturctions for Red Hat, SuSE and Mandrake. Wish list: 1.) Support for the Lexmark E210 to be added into the current Ghostscript version. 2.) Support for the Lexmark E210 to added to future SuSE distributions.

Ralph, You might want to check the SuSE ftp site for the GhostScript update files. This is version 6.51, which may indeed have your printer included. I haven't actually looked thru all the printers myself, as mine was already supported with the original GS/SuSE install (7.2). Of course, you seem to have your problem solved with CUPS, but it is always good to check their site for upgrades first when experiencing problems of this sort. end of line Tracer -- ---KMail 1.3--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb@sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb
