I am running Squeeze on an i386, with the Gnome desktop. Under CUPS, I am unable to add a HP LaserJet4 with Postscript and a Jet-Direct ethernet card. The problem is that I am unable to specify a "raw" queue.
CUPS appears to me to have a bug, because it repeatedly asks for the root password for authentication, and often gets locked into a asking-for-authentication loop. I have tried to install the lj4 via the Gnome menu (system -> administration -> printing) and via the browser administrative interface (localhost:631): With the Gnome menu, I am forced to choose a printer driver from a list which excludes "raw". And if I install the printer using the Gnome menu, I have found no way to subsequently change the queue to "raw". With the menu sequence "administration -> add printer" the browser interface goes off into never-never land with the message "looking for printers" and never returns. I previously added a HPLJ5 with "raw" queue, but CUPS does not appear to be working correctly now, even after restarting the computer. Someone needs to do a pre-Apple branch of CUPS and bring Linux printing back to sanity. RLH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
