WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?

Sorry to hear about the problems, hope you get it sorted quickly.

Bad time to mention it? You may want to consider a (one to one) backup once
you have everything sorted...there are tools/methods available and then you
would be able to dump from this backup no matter what happens in the future.
I cringe to think of what hell would await me if I didn't...all of the cd's,
icons, updates (my, they are all so small in size for a 56k modem...) work
docs, bookmarks and tuning...I promise both you and your iBook will dream
happy(er) thoughts if you do...

OK mister, just put the lpr and *cups* down on the ground real slow like and
back away from them nice and easy...Nothing to look at here folks, keep
moving... :-)

It's not perfect, yet! But they've done a good job so far integrating
printing with a *unix* system...if you have a few days, install an older
powerpc linux system and (for the average person) find out what I
mean...Apple will get it sorted...
