Hi Didier, Thank you for your great help. But I think I am about to give up.
1) If there is no redhat version driver of my printer, that would mean I cannot use that printer as my Network printer by using cups and printer configuration? 2) Isn't that printer configured as a Samba printer? So for what reason I need to install the printer driver in my redhat? Sorry I don't mean to be bossy, but I just could not understand the logic here. 3) I tried to add another printer (this time, redhat has the driver for it). But when I sent a print job, it failed and I found from /var/log/cups/error_log that it said "ERRDOS -120 opening remote file hosts" My command is lpr -P HP_LaserJet /etc/hosts. Please enlighten me. Thanks a lot and help me please. --- Didier Casse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 25 Aug 2003, Champion Boliao wrote: > > > Thanks a lot Didier, > > > > You're welcome!:-) > > > I am almost there, almost. > > > > I am now able to add the printer using Print > > Configuration and can manage it from > > http://localhost:631. > > > Cool! :-) That's the way! > > > > However, I failed to print a test page.
