I'm the cups-meister, and the samba-cups fucker-uppper, so I'll put this on my queue behind the other 39281774522 things that are already there. No changes should be made w/o a full analysis of what is happening. Also, cups 1.1.16 is around the corner, down six blocks, and hiding behind the bus stop. It contains a new driver that allows you to use the windows driver and cups acts like a pass-trhru. like it does when printing postscript (I think). The cups upgrades will not come for a few weeks; i'm looking for a job that pays $95+/y and the job market is ... well ... shitty. I also have KDE to deal withk the development version of the autoauto twins. The best you can expect is a couple weeks. In the meantime, *if* I get time, I will look at this problem. Are you willing to test for me, as I have no Windows box -- Alan Eldridge Unix/C(++) IT Pro for 20 yrs, seeking new employment.
