Yeah I will be glad to test it for you, i have cups installed in 2 production environments, along with samba, so it shouldnt be to big of a problem. Although I don't believe it is your fault, it appears to be more then bsd related. I am not positive of this but i am seeing people have simular results with other *nix's. it appears that if you dont specify the --disable-cups or whatever the configure argument is, cups takes over.. Anyways, good luck on the job scene, and as far as the fix, i think a simple pkg-message would do the trick in the mean time, or I will just keep an eye out for others who are having the problem, and forward on what i found out. -- Andrew Stuart http://www.tekrealm.net What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists?
