I have a third box in which I just installed Woody from the CD set, went on line (DSL) an ran dist-upgrade, then configured a 2.4.18 kernel, used apt-get to install cupsys, cupsomatic-ppd and foomatic-bin. This box has an HP Deskjet 940c on /dev/lp0. The above packages did not include a driver for the 940c so I downloaded two versions (old and new cups format) from www.linuxprinting.org - neither works! I installed and tested these drivers from localhost:631 as lpadmin and lpstat are unknown on the system!?? lpinfo works. I really would appreciate some help with these problems.
