Listers:

I am experiencing problems printing from Netscape 7.2 to a CUPS based 
printer using Xprint drivers. 

I can print from OpenOffice to this printer.

Any ideas?  I think the problem is with the xprint drivers. However, 
both of the printers I configured under CUPS appear under Netscape when 
I press Cntrl+P for printing.
After I run the print job, it does not appear under the CUPS admin 
pages.  When I stop the xprint processes, the page I start the xprint 
processes shows the same number of print jobs that were pending as being 
not available.

This the output of the process:

[root@localhost init.d]# ./cups stop
Stopping cups:                                             [  OK  ]
[root@localhost init.d]# ./cups start
Starting cupsd:                                            [  OK  ]

It appears as something is not happening between Xprt and xprint....

Any ideas?
Offline replies would be appreciated.
