The way I do things is this: I set the printer up in CUPS, then when I want to print I use kprinter (If I recall correctly, you do use kde). kprinter myfile kprinter will convert it to .ps if it isn't already and do all of the page formatting that might be necessary. I have found that by printing directly to the printer using lpr or lpr-cups from Opera,Netscape,Konq etc.. I often get garbage printed out:( Nick On Wednesday 10 July 2002 23:15, Austad, Jay wrote: > Ok, so I got a shiny new Samsung ML-1450.
