get the 'cupsys', 'cupsys-client', 'cupsys-bsd', 'cupsys-driver-gimpprint', 'cupsomatic-ppd', and 'cupsys-pstoraster' pacakges. (I think at least some of them aren't in potato) The CUPS printing system is very nice and easy to use. Just point your web browser to http://localhost:631/ and you can add a printer with point-n-click. Of the packages I listed, one is the daemon, two are the client tools (lp and lpr and friends; one is SysV the other is BSD), and three contain "drivers". With those three package you'll have filters for many different printers. | How do I change window managers? What is your desktop? If you have none, just edit ~/.xsession appropriately.

Either get Adrian Bunk's packages or upgrade 'modutils' and whatever else is required and build your own. google is bound to turn up some F{ine}M's to R. (I recommend moving to woody or sid if you want a 2.4 kernel or if you want KDE or GNOME or anything else that is recent (like CUPS). potato is called "stable" but it is old; the newer stuff is newer) -D -- "Don't use C; In my opinion, C is a library programming language not an app programming language." - Owen Taylor (GTK+ developer)
