hi antonio ,
please move me to the shrike list coz i have the redhat linux 9 , ...
i have already subscribed to that & posted, but i am not getting any replies
, just worried wether i have added or not , i have posted the same question
in the shrike list also but so far no replies from anyone , can you raise my
question there in that list.

i sam sure there is some problem in the configuration , its something to do
with CUPS i guess ..can you please check on this & forward the same to the
right person , thanx for ur support.



regards

valeed
