My best guess as to my miss-step is that I accepted encyption and authentication in the kprinter setup as defaults, and muddled the choices involved. I expect that I compounded my errors by subsequently using apt-get to try to remove cups and install lprng, and later to undo those actions. I understand that cups is preferred. Below are the last 50 lines of /var/log/cups/error_log. I need to be able to print textfiles and postscript from the commandline, and to print from within windowed apps as well. I wonder if there is a way to re-run debian-installer for nothing but the printer installation? I would like to have a clean slate for printer installation, without undoing the work I have done on the rest of the system. Thanks in advance for any ideas. I apologize if this is the wrong list for this issue. Don
Sorry this isn't a 'click here and type this' answer, but this ought to get you going in the right direction. In the documentation tab of the web administration interface (you know the one, http://localhost:631), search for "Authentication Issues". If that doesn't have what you need, you can rerun the debconf dialogs with 'dpkg-reconfigure cupsys'. I haven't enabled the encryption or authentication stuff, my printers and print servers are in the same subnets as the clients. It sounds like your printer is directly connected to your box, so I wouldn't bother with it. The cupsd.conf file has lots of comments, so if you want to get in to that have the cupsd.conf reference manual available. good luck, -- Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
