I would thoroughly purge the whole lot, reinstall CUPS using apt/apt-get/aptitude whatever. Install the driver. All the bits. (I seem to remember that there are at least two) And configure properly from scratch using the http://localhost:631 interface, and nothing else. Just this once, forget the command line. Let CUPS do its stuff *without* *interference*. You might be pleasantly surprised. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
