Re: lprng and slink
Yes, my problem would a bit more obscured by the fact of gs conflicts with
magicfilter. I am able to print plain text docs. However, HTML, ps and pdf formats
cannot be prited without serious errors. Thus I prefer to wait for the slink release
in CD. I am using now other distributions (OpenLinux 1.3, SuSE 6.0, Slackware 3.6)
without any printing problem.
Regards,
Gustavo
