I've lost track of where exactly we are with printing.
Sindi, were you ever able to print from Opera (as root)
without using lpd?  If not, here is the way I've been
able to do it.

First, create the following file:
------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
gs -q -dSAFER -sDEVICE=deskjet -r300x300 \
   -sPAPERSIZE=letter -sOutputFile=- - >/dev/lp0
------------------------------------------------
Call it ps-print.
Make it executable (chmod +x ps-print)
Put it in /usr/local/bin

Then go to Opera and click on File->Print->Printer Program.
Use the Choose button to select /usr/local/bin/ps-print.
There are no parameters.
Click on Destination and select ps-print for output.
Print.


Cheers,
Steven
