Hello,
with MkdPPC-8.0, CUPS did'nt find my printer on the serial port (TTYS1). 
My printer wasn't detected with HardDrake too.

I tried yesterday to install all the CUPS related packages from cooker 
sources, but the problem is the same : even if Kups can find several USB 
port (and I don't have any USB interface), it doesn't find any serial 
interface for my Apple Stylewriter II printer. So I can't setup a classe 
for my printer. It tried to manually modify /etc/cups/printers.conf 
(changing "serial:" into "serial:/dev/ttyS1"...) but it doesn't change 
anything.

My computer : Starmax 3180 (old world, 603e, PM4400 clone).

So I have to switch back to simple lpr + lpstyl install (lpstyl isn't 
provided by cooker ; I found it on some LinuxPPC ftp site).
