I can print a test page just fine. I can see the printer in a browser (http://localhost:631/admin); it seems to be correct. When I try to print a page in Xwindows, Xwindows abnormally exits. There is no error message on the terminal when X closes. It appears X was given a normal 'exit X' command. Of course, the page doesn't print either. The steps leading up to this are: Start X windows. I have fvwm2 as the window manager. Open Mozilla (or any browser). I use Mozilla. On the displayed page, pick 'File' 'Print'. Immediately X exits. Any thoughts as to what is going on? Thanks in advance. Harold ---------------------------------------- Upgrade your account today for increased storage; mail forwarding or POP enabled e-mail with automatic virus scanning.
