I have been working with this distro for while (RC1) and I cannot get wordperfect to print using cups. I can print the test pages no problem.
I appreciate any help with this.
Great distro, btw.

I run RH, and not cups, so this may be no help. The trick with WordPerfect, (and StarOffice, too) is to select a print driver that does nothing. In WP this driver is called "Passthrough PostScript". That's just what we need, allowing the PS to get to GhostScript, and from there out to the printer. Any other driver will mangle the PS into something GhostScript will choke on, for sure.This all assumes the printer is working normally.
