Read /usr/share/doc/cupsys/README.txt.gz All I did was run the lpadmin cmd as root. In your case try: /usr/lib/lpadmin -p StColor -m stcolor.ppd -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E This sets up the printer on the first parallel port(lp0) uses the EPSON Stylus Color driver which comes with CUPS and gives the printer the name StColor. I also added my normal user account to the lpadmin group which might be a security hole. You can then administer the printer using a browser by: http://localhost:631/ Now I have a question, a stupid one of course. When I use the CUPS web interface the first page is displayed OK as http://localhost:631/. If I click on any of the links then the browser tries to load the page by substituting my hostname(cumulus) for localhost. This workstation is behind a firewall so it doesn't have a true domain. /etc/hosts is: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.3 cumulus /etc/hostname is: cumulus 192.168.1.3 is the NIC's static IP. Is the web browser pulling 'cumulus' from /etc/hostname? How do I tell it that 192.168.1.3 and 127.0.0.1 are the same machine? Am I misunderstanding or are *nix hostname really hostnames per IP? scott -- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 10-Oct-2000 Time: 08:45:49 This message was sent by XFMail --
RE: ODP: Printer configuration on debian
cups-bsd has a wrapper for BSD printing functions like lp. I hade to installed it to use "normal" BSD functions. If I remember cups suggest cups-bsd with dselect method installation.

no, installation of CUPS came with xpp and apt-get retrieved the extra packages related to CUPS/xpp. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > did you install an additional package cups-bsd ? > > > > > > How do I configure CUPS?

Re: ODP: Printer configuration on debian
How do I configure CUPS? I'm trying to set up my printer with magicfilter. I think there is a permission problem, but I'm not sure. Here's where I'm at.. I can print using staroffice. I can't print using lp, I get the following output: lp: error - no default destination available. If I try to print using 'y' in mutt or slrn--doesn't work. Slrn returns 'error 1'. Here's how my /etc/printcap looks: # This file was generated by /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig. # lp|lp|Epson StylusColor 600:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs I also downloadd xpp and it installed the CUPS client and server. Yet when I run xpp it tells me it's unable to connect to CUPS server, check options. duh..

Re: Printer configuration on debian - Another question
I think I used lp=parport0 parport=0x378,7, in my loadlin command line ... My paralell port uses IRQ 7 under windows, so I though I should use the same under debian. I'll try it out(assuming that'll work with loadlin). Thanks. In reply to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > > So, I have my modem running under my debian installation.

Have you put into your lilo.config append statement a parport statement? append = "hdd=cdrom lp=parport0 parport=0x378,none" The none tells my system _not_ to use an IRQ so it polls the printer instead. :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) -- Real Time, adj.: Here and now, as opposed to fake time, which only occurs there and then. ___ -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null

Printer configuration on debian - Another question
So, I have my modem running under my debian installation. Thanks to the ones who helped me. Next step (no, it's not an OS): Setting up the printer. I have printtool installed, so I'm able to set my printer up. When I run printtool and click Add, it says: lp0: there's no printer (or something like that). lp1: there's no printer. ... The problem is: The device lp0 is not bound to parport. I recompiled the kernel, installing parport issues (I think auto-detection). In the system initialization, debian gives me the message: parport0: HEWLLET-PACKARD DESKJET 690, or something like that. But when I type the command cat /proc/parport/0/devices, the only thing it says is plip. I think it should be plip lp0, shouldn't it? Or should I remove (how?) plip and bound (how?) lp0? Thanks, Gaucho
Printer configuration on debian
What is the preferred way to configure a PostScript printer on debian 2.2? This same printer was most recently configured under SuSE 6.1 using apsfilter. This is my first debian installation and I am bringing it up one resource at a time. So far, I have networking and Internet working. Thanks in advance, Dwight -- Dwight Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
