Hi Richard.

Turned out my printer queue had been "disabled" on the Linux system in 
question <groan>.  Managed to figure out how to reenable by reading Man 
pages,etc.

Next (2) issues, CUPS.
Issue 1) When I try to log into the WebAdmin Interface, I am asked for 
username and password.  Then the root user name and password are 
ignored/considered invalid.  I have been unable to find documentation on 
how to fix this.  Help?

Issue 2) When I try to print from a MS machine, I get the following 
lines in the cups/error_log file;
E [18/Jul/2004:20:17:56 -0500] print_job: Unsupported format 
'application/octet-stream'!
I [18/Jul/2004:20:17:56 -0500] Hint: Do you have the raw file printing 
rules enabled?
There was a checkbox in Yast2 on SuSE 8.2 that I hit to do to enable Raw 
Printing, but I can't seem to find it in 9.0.  So where do I look to 
enable "Raw Printing" for the MS Boxen on my network?

Thanks,
Steve
