Re: [Sheflug] Downright Weirdness with Mandrake 9.0 Printing

James,
If your having this much trouble,why not try Turboprint.
I cannot praise it highly enough,its easy to install and set up.
I've installed it in several distros with no problem and last night
installed it in RedHat 8.0 .
                Good Luck,
                      Jeff
