44 You are still not giving much in the way of information, and you are
45 still getting replies from people that basically say "Well, gee, I dunno
46 what the problem is, but try this $RANDOM_MAGIC_SAUCE"
47
48 It's an exercise in throwing shit at a wall and hoping some of it sticks.
49
50 So, it used to work. Now it doesn't work.
51 Something changed in between.
52 You need to provide the information to find what changed, no-one else
53 can. And it doesn't help repeating the error message you get, we already
54 know that.
55
56 Start with the short list of three items in my other mail.
57
58 I promise you, and this is important, until you provide that information
59 we will all keep going around in circles (unless you hit random pay
60 dirt) and your printing will continue to not work.
