The printer is an Epson Stylus Color 400. I printed a test file from the regular Text Editor and that printed fine. I then printed this email from KMail and the header was: %!PS-Adobe-1.0 EPSF-3.0 It should be 1 page but printed two pages of stuff. But it did print the text eventually. I also tried to print an image from Image Viewer, but got the same header. Below is the only line in my printcap file that is not commented: lp|Epson|local line printer:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sh:lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd: This was generated by Webmin, I suppose, I haven't done anything to affect printing or set up a printer. Hope this helps.
