I always have lp0-lp3 defined. Variations on a theme of course, they are all
an Epson C82, using the C84 drivers to get borderless, from 180x360 B&W to
1440x1440 full color. And in the 2 weeks since I updated to F10 from F8, I
have not had to touch those configs. As root, everything Just Works(TM).

What is even wierder Tim, is that without a reboot, it worked normally the
next morning, and has for 2 mornings now. And there was a reboot yesterday
because I just HAD to burn my fingers in a 2.6.29-rc7 kernel for a few
minutes. Regretfully, even at rc7, it is NOT ready for prime time. It won't
run thee console-helper-daemon, and changes selinux file contexts and perms,
so there is about 8 or 10 files I have to run down through setroubleshoot
reports and fix if I can every time I do that. But I can't fix fetchmail and
procmail until a new targeted policy comes out. Then to add insult to that if
you try a graceful shutdown to reboot back to the 2.6.28.7 now running, you
wind up doing a full, pull all the power plugs powerdown for about 30 seconds
to restore the ethernet PHY's to living status. 2.6.29-rcx can revive them,
earlier kernels cannot, but its a PIMA switchng back and forth.
I have no idea, not even a clue, why it decided to work. But prior to sending
that message, I had spent about 4 hours trying to allow the user 'amanda' the
ability to print. And failing as was quoted. But now, even lpr works as the
user amanda. At this point, about all I can do is apologize for the noise.
