Why? It has nothing to do with GUI's. I might want to print from the CLI at anytime, and would want it to work the same way. Part of Unix's advantage is modularity. If something breaks, it and only it can be fixed or replaced. This would mix two totally unrelated things. Not saying that printing doesn't need some work in Unix (I still haven't got my printer working under Linux), but it's not X's job to do printing, and there is no reason it should be. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
