OK, Re: HPDeskJet 960c as local printer on Woody box I've used up my variables. I installed the KDE kdelips3-cups package, (and I also have installed: cupsys; cupsys-client; cupsys-pstoraster; mpage; foomatic-bin; foomatic-db; and hpijs -- I did not install cupsys-bsd as this is for printing off the local linux box only; I did a custom PPD which looks like it is installed correctly and is being used) and it knows about CUPS, but when I start up the wizzard the first dialog box I get is all grayed out except for "Class of Printers" and if I select that, the next one shows no printers available.
I did not try Benedict's Cupsomatic Perl script under the thinking that this was taken care of by my custom PPD and the functions are supplied by the foomatic guys...yes? In the CUPS http admin tool I appear to be able to set up the printer, and it sees it at: URI: parallel /dev/lp0 and it has Device: Parallel Port 1 Clicking on "Print Test Page" gets the printer rolling, and then it spits out a blank page. when i go to configure it it gives me: client-error-not-found ...first time out I went back and installed the CUPS client, but that didn't change anything. (I have deleted and re-added, and stopped and started the printer several times). I also took a look at the kernel and I have IEEE support, parallel printer support, and USB support. When I try and print a file from Nedit I get: Unable to Print sh:lpr command not found (I also mentioned previously that when I try to enter the administration tool via the command line lpadmin I get no such command) Just to be sure I shut down and restarted a couple of times. Also generously peppered the operation with /etc/init.d/cupsys restart Just Guessing in the dark, I added the printer to the classes following the obvious...ahum...choices in the wizzard. nada Best Wishes! Mike Olds www.buddhadust.org How come after 3 rebuilds, when i run # uname -a my kernel is still listed as #1 the date is the rebuild date, and the vmlinus version in /boot is also dated correctly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
