Re: [Pnm2ppa-users] CUPS & pnm2ppa

[Jakob <ja...@fr...>]

thanks for everybody's help.  

I finally gave up with Gentoo Linux (not enough patience and time), and will
install Mandrake 8.2 soonish.  If there is interest I can send a report on the
ease or difficulty to get a HP722C to print.

cheers,
Jakob.
