Re: cups printing problems: mozilla, gimp
aha! that seemed to fix the gimp problem! thanks :) (cups-bsd was already
installed, but i had missed the -dev)
on the mozilla problem: i have no record of the printing requests (that i
can see) in /var/log/cups or /var/spool/cups. but also - if i ask to print
to .ps does this supposedly use cups? (i check this - silly q - before i
try adam's suggestion of magicfilter)
