My previous experience (which wasn't a whole lot) with running X on a remote system was Linux-to-Linux, & if memory serves, I didn't have to work *too* hard to get it to work. I suspect that the issue lies in not having enough of the needed packages/libs installed on the server - but since I now have the printers working without having to run the ./setup binary, it's now more of a theoretical question.<br><br>Asking RH to support the printer is definitely a good idea, & I'm not shy about opening tickets with them - but I've also been in situations (happily, not with RH) where each of the 2 vendors involved are pointing fingers at the other...<br><br>Thanks again,<br><br>T.<br><hr id="zwchr"><b>From: </b>"David L.
