Re: Cups 1.0.5
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your reply.
Can you tell me more about how you worked around it
by changing some of the macros in the a2ps config files ?
Temporary, I reinstalled the lprng package but could
not print in kde (console, netscape & wordperfect 8 is ok).
Thank you.

I found that it would work if you put the printer name in
the options to lpr. It would never work with the printer
defaulted. I worked around it by changing some of the macros
in the a2ps config files to always use the printer name. Not
a general fix, but it worked for me.
