Re: setting up DeskJet 960c as local printer on Woody box I have reviewed the cupsomatic perl script situation and this basically duplicates the work being done by the custom PPD and the foomatic-bin and foomatic-db (at least that's how I understand it). I have also installed cupsys-bsd, gv, and qtcups per various sets of instructions. So now I have the following installed: cupsis-pstoraster cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-bsd cupsys-client foomatic-bin foomatic-db gv hpijs mpage qtcups
Still no joy. I think the problem is occuring somewhere between the printer as hardware which seems to be installed ok, and the various installed packages which also seem to be set up ok. It's just that the two are not talking to each other. Except for the fact that this may indicate something else wrong with my setup, I'm about to say "Why do I need this?" since the printer off my W2K box works fine and I could probably set up this printer on an open USB port and have it up and running in two minutes (the little test it did for itself looked like a very nice job of printing, better than the multi-function OfficeJetT65 I use on the W2K box.) 1. What would be the best way to get everything print related out of the machine to start over? Uninstall all of the above? Anything else? 2. Can I still be missing something in my kernel? 3. How do you command-line send a job to the printer? lpr and pdq both give me: "command not found". I looked in modutls aliases and inserted the lines: alias /dev/printers lp alias /dev/lp0 lp alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc and rebooted, but that did nothing, so I removed them. My thinking is it is something like this that is the problem: no communication between the parallel port and the printing drivers. 4. I tried printing from the Web, no go, but that's no real test as Mozilla doesn't do anything for me except see pages (I just installed the browser). 5. The error message off Nedit has changed, and is now: lpr: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable Best Wishes!
