The following message appeared after using dselect to install gs-aladdin, magicfilter and lprng:
Starting printer spooler: 2002-01-26-17:52:22.445 Get_local_host: hostname 'debian' bad lprng. My /etc/hosts file is as follows: 127.0.0.1 localhost 216.191.62.2 stn.net My /etc/network/interfaces reads: auto lo iface lo inet loopback If I try to print I get the following error: Get_local_host: hostname 'debian' bad I don't understand what this error means - "debian" was the default hostname when I installed the system. I'm running Woody with a 2.2.19 kernel with the following modules: Module Size Used by ppp_deflate 39424 0 (autoclean) nls_cp437 3904 2 (autoclean) sb 33280 0 uart401 6148 0 [sb] sound 56480 0 [sb uart401] soundcore 2564 6 [sb sound] parport_probe 3392 0 (autoclean) parport_pc 7392 1 (autoclean) lp 4384 0 (unused) parport 7524 1 [parport_probe parport_pc lp] dummy 976 0 (unused) bsd_comp 3936 0 ppp 20800 0 [ppp_deflate bsd_comp] slhc 4304 0 [ppp] vfat 9216 1 fat 29312 1 [vfat] The printer is an HP DeskJet 932C. PPP and mail services work fine, but I am unable to print. I've read man pages, printing docs and linuxprinting.org. I tried installing CUPS but couldn't get it to see localhost:631.Right now, I'd be satisfied getting the most basic printing going using gs and lprng, but I'm stumped. Any advice?
