    Hi IT,

    I'm using cups with printing from wk2 and ME. Look under /etc/cups
    directory. You need to edit both the mime.convs and mime.types file.
     You will find the lines that you need to uncomment toward the bottom of
    both these files. After uncommenting both restart cups and everything
    should work.

    HTH.
