Roy-

That's all over my head right now, but if I need to I'll figure it 
out.

I haven't been able to find the version of Linux that used the 
Windows/virtual PC setup, so maybe I dreamed it after all. I have 
found that all three flavors I checked ( Mandrake, Red Hat, and SuSE)
use CUPS and Gimp-print, so I think I'll move towards trying it as 
time allows, in a dual-boot set-up. I know you posted a URL to get 
the latest version of Gimp-print a few days ago, could you post it 
again? Thanks
