Hi Peter,

Tks for your advice.

I have been working around with both CUPS and lprng before on other
Linux distro and FreeBSD.  CUPS worked fine on Redhat.  On Fedora,
Gentoo, etc., I ran lprng+hpijs.

On running CUPS it needs the PPD file for my printer, HP Deskjet 5740;
http://linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html

However I could not find it on the CD coming with the printer.

To run "lprng+hpijs" I need to install addtional packages including
devel packages.  I have no idea whether there will be any conflict on
BLFS 6.1.

Please email it to me off the list.  Tks.

Yes. That is a good idea.  Please posting it on the Forum and some
other Forums on Internet.  Folks would be appreciated.
