Hello Till,
I downloaded CUPS, FLTP and XPP.
After install (with CUPS there is a
dependency pb with
lpr, printtool and rhs-printfilters =
lpr, lprm, and lp...)
Did the install.
Window of xpp came up bute after
clicking on
'options' to select a printer, xpp get
away (stops).
What did I wrong ?
My printer: HP Deskjet 815C same as
810C.
Thanks for advice.
