I don't know how to install the latest (4.1.7) gimp-print drivers with the current apsfilter so I haven't used it for printing. > > Are you sure lpd is running?

Cups. Cups allows me to configure the printer but the printcap looks something like: gimp|Epson EPSON Stylus C63:rm=local2.local.net:rp=gimp: I have no idea how it actually works. The cups configuration shows /dev/lpt0 as the device but nothing gets to the spooler or the printer. I've always used apsfilter and it has just worked with a minimum of muss and fuss. I sure hope Andres is going to keep it updated because if not I for one am really going to miss it. Thanks again for your help, ed > > Andrew Gould >
