NOPE. Did not have this problem in Kubuntu... (none at all ) So, I am looking to set it up via the printer app, not command line (Please) trying to see, where I went wrong... or if its a bug.

You don't mention how you set it up, nor what your specific problem is (of course I just might be dense). I'm assuming you are printing via JetDirect? If it were me, I would type the following at a shell prompt: user@ubuntu:~$ sudo lpadmin -p HP-LJ-5si -E -v socket://192.168.0.11:9100 -m \ > linuxprinting.org-gs-builtin/HP/HP-LaserJet_5Si-Postscript.ppd -u allow:all All the ingredients are already there on a standard dapper install, I shouldn't be too much trouble to get it working. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
