In the installer's language, they are options. In Debian-speak, they would be classified as recommends. <snip> ...and from there, the install runs without a hitch, including disabling and enabling any conflicting or required packages along the way: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BUILD AND INSTALL ----------------- Running './configure --prefix=/usr --enable-qt4 --enable-doc-build --disable-cups-ppd-install --disable-foomatic-drv-install --enable-foomatic-ppd-install --enable-hpijs-install --disable-policykit --disable-cups-drv-install --disable-hpcups-install --enable-network-build --enable-dbus-build --enable-scan-build --enable-fax-build' Please wait, this may take several minutes... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...after which it runs 'make-clean', then 'make'. and providing the option to unplug and replug the usb printer connection or providing the option for a restart, to register the printer. Until it hands over to hp-setup, where I get everything going right - the printer is recognised automagically, the driver is right there in the repository (hp-deskjet_2000_j210_series-hpijs.ppd.gz), but when I hit 'Add Printer' in the final stage, I get a pop-up: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Printer queue setup failed. Could not connect to CUPS Server Is user added to "lpadmin" group(s)" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..and when I hit 'enter' from there, I get returned to the Desktop 'user' prompt. An abort. That looks like a permissions issue. Further, when I attempt, as root, to call up hp-setup to configure it that way, I get: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ weaver@192-168-1-2:~$ su Password: root@192-168-1-2:/home/weaver# hp-setup HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.11.10) Printer/Fax Setup Utility ver. 9.0 Copyright (c) 2001-9 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

So, what is happening here? I tried to resolve the permissions issue, but I'm just getting into CLI and couldn't make heads or tails of anything. I tried all sorts of command combinations for a period of about a week, but the computer basically said 'Go away, you're too stupid and I don't want to deal with you'. As lpadmin doesn't seem to be a package, as such, I'm unable to use a gui file manager like Thunar and change permissions through 'properties' which is how I've been doing it up till now. I wouldn't have a clue about the other situation. Where to from here?
