oldjim, i'm dubious that the .ppd file you mention would work, but have you tried copying it to /root directory, then installing the cups .pup you dloaded, & seeing if cups then detects the .ppd file?

If I select xpdq from the setup menu, it doesn't run either ...

How many millions of computers in the world running Windows?? And they have internal modems.
