ONLY the stuff listed in the Depends: line above will get installed by doing apt-get install cupsys. the rest have to be installed seperately(you can specify them at the same time like apt-get install package1 package2 package3) > > I'm installing from a set of CDs I bought and when I enter > "apt-get install cupsys" I'm told that cups could not be found. I have never installed woody from the CDs(sofar only installed potato then upgraded to woody). Perhaps you don't have the CD which contains the rest of the packages, or not all of the CDs are cataloged(check /etc/apt/sources.list to be sure all of the CDs you have are listed). > > When I enter "apt-cache search cups" I get - > libcupsys2 > libgimpprint1 > gimpprint-locales > > Does this mean that I don't have the complete package? sounds like it, when I do apt-cache search cups I get: apcupsd - APC UPS Power Management cupsomatic-ppd - cups printer ppd's from LinuxPrinting.org cupsys - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server cupsys-bsd - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD commands cupsys-client - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client programs (SysV) cupsys-driver-gimpprint - gimp-print printer driver for CUPS cupsys-pstoraster - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - pstoraster foomatic-bin - Printer/Driver database and print system - binaries foomatic-db - Printer/Driver database and print system - main database gimp1.2-print - print plugin for the GIMP gimpprint-doc - User Guide for GIMP-Print and CUPS gimpprint-locales - Locales files for gimp-print gtklp - Frontend for cups written in gtk hpoj - HP OfficeJet Linux driver (hpoj) libcupsys2 - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs libcupsys2-dev - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - development files libgimpprint1 - library necessary to use gimp-print programs libqtcups-dev - Qt interface library for CUPS (development files) libqtcups2 - Qt interface library for CUPS lire - generate reports from various logfiles qtcups - Qt front-end for CUPS. xpp - X Printing Panel kdelibs3-cups - KDE print system (CUPS support) I am using the debian http mirrors for my sources.list entries nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
