Re: Re. Printer troubles
What happens when you try to print? Anything?
Is there anything in /var/log/lp-acct, /var/log/lp-errs, or
/var/log/lpr.log?
Have you tried using magicfilter to handle printing?
(I haven't used Opera, but Netscape and SO both print fine for me.)
BTW: it's unwise to use a root login for mail and other non-root tasks.
