I am new to Linux. To get my feet wet I have installed Debian (stable) on an old 486-50, upgraded with an Overdrive processor, with 24 MByte of RAM and a 1 GB SCSI disk. It works slowly, but it works.
How can I configure it to print to my old Canon BJC-250 through a standard (non-ECP) parallel port? >From lurking here, I think I need cups, but I've been through the dselect listings and I can't find cups anywhere. I've also looked at the Debian website. If I do a search on cups, I find a description of the package, but if I look through the categorized list http://packages.debian.org/stable/ it doesn't seem to be listed in any of the categories. Am I missing something? Is cups all that I need, or is there more? Thanks to anyone who can guide me on this! Jack Dodds
