Thanks for the quick response - I posted to -dev only because I use only
Cauldron on my machines to help with testing, and I though -discuss was
more aimed at released versions (like Mageia 1)
On a similar note, what ever happened to a standard PDF printer setup in
the mcc (printerdrake is gone I believe) . . . When I choose set up
printers, I can only add physical and networked printers, but no option
to add a PDF printer. It was very helpful to have a generic PDF printer
driver setup as a virtual printer (like PDFcreator)
Anyway, I digress . . . . Thanks again.
