Installed cups via pacman (package manager provided by arch). usblp is available in AUR, Installed it through yaourt and it showed error that it couldnt install because files conflict, so i removed cups and then tried to install usblp. It installed fine and now my printer gets detected, but it showing printer filter missing. > > I am not familiar with Arch Linux but I expect it's package management > utility would highlight dependencies. > > -- > Arun Khan > _______________________________________________ > ILUGC Mailing List: > http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc > _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
