Pete, you by far rerquire the most hand holding of anyone i
have ever seen. I'm honestly supprised you've gotten it to
work at all. When you brough your laptop in the other night,
you wanted someone to fix your ancient printer for you. If I'm
not mistaken, that's exactly what Mark did for you. You should
be thankful there are people around who are willing to provide
so much help. In many places, and I have done this myself, I
have told people to go read the documentation.
Most of the time, they will say they have read the docs, and
it didn't help them. This is because they looked at the words,
but didn't actually read them. I have shown people the exact
places to look and amazingly enough, the answer is right in
front of them.

Linux can be point and click for those who are willing to put
forth some effort and follow the instructions and honestly
read the docs. Although I haven't seen robin's book yet, I
know hiw writing style to be good, and his information to be
as correct as possible.

Pete - This is a waste of time. The fact is that your printer works. My
answer would have been RTFMP (RTF Man Page). This is something you need
to learn if you are going to continue exploring linux. I'll bring some
cheese to the next meeting.
