When you look at the http cups interface and add a printer, the second item you choose is the port. If the ports are not listed THEN: Check which version of cups you are running (cups manual has the version number on th efront page. You get to it via the html interface and 'help'
If the version # is lower than 1.1.6 than upgrade to 1.1.6 (latest) which has a bug fix for this. BTW, it took waaaaayyy too much time and waaaayy too much banging my head against the wall to figure this out. See also another thread on the list if you are planning to use Kups with cups. There also still might be a problem with gimp-print if you are going to use that as well. I am still working on these items Jens On Wed, 21 Mar 2001 20:54:00 +0100, you wrote: >Hi, > >I'm trying to setup my printer using CUPS. > >The problem is CUPS doesn't see my printer at all : > >socrate:/home/alci# lpinfo -v >file file > >Nevertheless, the kernel recognizes it : > >socrate:/home/alci# cat /proc/devices >Character devices: > 1 mem > 2 pty > 3 ttyp > 4 ttyS > 5 cua > 6 lp >... > >Where should I look for ? >(I'm using kernel 2.4.2, parport and printer are compiled in the kernel and >not as modules, but I guess it should be ok). > > >Franck
