[NTLUG:Discuss] Redhat 7.2 printer

In case anyone was waiting for the answers to either of my questions.
The VMWare issue has a typical closed source solution. Upgrade to the
latest version.

The printer issue is still unresolved. I can print a text test file but
nothing else comes out right. Paper comes out but something is wrong
with every driver in the RedHat database.

I guess they just improved it to the point it doesn't work anymore.

Has anyone installed CUPS on RH7.2? If so, do you recommend it? Any
gotchas?

Thanks
Bobby
