Here's a few addendums to my initial post: * I don't have CUPS installed but Xprint appears to have been installed. There's an /etc/cups/client.conf which looks like a skeleton file, nothing but comments. * Do I *need* Xprint and/or CUPS? I was happy with lpd and don't see the benefit of a change. We have a PostScript printer attached to the parallel port and had no problems with lpd. Can I just purge Xprint and go back to how it was? (I'm afriad to do this because dselect tells me that x-window-system depends on xprint) * Here's my relevant packages:
$ dpkg -l xprt-* cups* gs-* gv gs Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ un xprt-common <none> (no description available) ii xprt-xprintorg 0.1.0.alpha1-1 Xprint - the X11 print system (dummy) un cups <none> (no description available) pn cups-pdf <none> (no description available) pn cupsomatic-ppd <none> (no description available) pn cupsys <none> (no description available) pn cupsys-bsd <none> (no description available) pn cupsys-client <none> (no description available) pn cupsys-driver- <none> (no description available) pn cupsys-driver- <none> (no description available) pn cupsys-pstoras <none> (no description available) pn cupsys-pt <none> (no description available) un cupsys-server <none> (no description available) un gs-afpl <none> (no description available) un gs-aladdin <none> (no description available) un gs-cjk-resourc <none> (no description available) ii gs-common 0.3.7 Common files for different Ghostscript relea pn gs-esp <none> (no description available) ii gs-gpl 8.01-5 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript interpreter un gs-pdfencrypt <none> (no description available) ii gv 3.6.1-10 PostScript and PDF viewer for X ii gs 8.01-5 Transitional package $ I hope someone can figure this out from my description. I'm stumped. All I want (boss says "NEED!") to do is print out a piece of paper!
