The printer config files are actually located in /etc/cups. /etc/printcap is probably left over from before you installed cups. To help diagnose problems with cups, log files are in /var/log/cups. You can set the LogLevel parameter in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to "debug" and restart the cupsd process to get more output to the logs. Have you tried "/etc/init.d/cups restart" to see if that corrects the problem? > I installed xpp ... but no luck ... it is not writing to /etc/printcap. > > I have the option of apt-installing the old RH favourite 'printtool' and > hoping that could do something with the script but I have previously > been successful with CUPS and would like to get it right. > > I'd really like to get on top of this as soon as possible as I am > packing everyting at the moment before a move in two weeks time.

It should probably be the same in exim.conf. In my exim.conf it looks like: route_list = * outgoing.verizon.net byname Based on your email address I imagine yours maybe something like: route_list = * xxx.primus.com.au byname > > without luck.
