Hi Tom, tried the above and got this answer: "system-config-printer: 
command not found" and I was "root".

Kubuntu has a lot I like but it is "light" and the gui version installs 
from a live disk this time around. Frankly, I have spent too much time 
trying to get this to work. I have Suse 10.0 on a slower machine as a 
test  --- which was my system of choice previously  --- and move it over 
as my main system on the faster machine.

What system do you use?

We live in the country about 40 miles south of Ottawa, in Ontario. Been 
here for 33 years. Just a few week ago I finally got a tower near enough 
to me that I was able to update to wireless broadband. It is more 
expensive but what you get for the money, for me anyway, makes it 
worthwhile.

A couple of years ago my wife and I spent two winters in Victoria. They 
were cutting grass in January and it was minus 35 at home in Ontario.

All the best, Bill.
