Hello,
I have a slight problem. I am running Debian on 3 machines at home (one router and 2 desktops) and I am trying to get cups to run on the router, attach my printer to it (deskjet 690C). The hardware part is no problem ;-) but the software part is. I installed the following packages: apt-get install foomatic-db/unstable foomatic-db-engine a2ps gs gsfonts foomatic-db-hpijs/unstable hpijs/testing foomatic-bin/unstable foomatic-filters libxml2/testing cupsys The packages from testing and unstable are because of dependencies of the foomatic and hpijs packages. First of all cups runs very slowly. When requesting a page from the web interface, cups will take cpu times for about 2 minutes. My router is only a [EMAIL PROTECTED] MHz computer but I never had problems with cups on a pentium 133. Adding a printer poses a problem: the admin has to select the device the printer is connected to from a dropdown list, and normally the parallel port and usb ports are in there. But this dropdown is simply empty! What can I do about this? It's a parallel port printer, the lp kernel module is loaded and I can see that the hardware id properly recognised: # cat /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/autoprobe CLASS:PRINTER; MODEL:DESKJET 690C; MANUFACTURER:HEWLETT-PACKARD; DESCRIPTION:Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 690C; COMMAND SET:MLC,PCL,PML; Can someone please give me a hint? I struggled with it for quit a bit of time now.
