Thanks! now I need to get the printer working... Eamon Roque G'day Eamon, I got my deskjet to work using the localhost:631 setup stuff, if it's broken in your install, try the version from Testing, it worked OK for me when you add a printer one of the fields you prompted to fill is location, put the path to the driver, for the deskjet it shoud be, /usr/share/cups/model/deskjet.ppd there and the rest should be a piece of cake Cheers Joel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The other sections of this interface are also empty. that's because the cupsys package is broken. see bugs for cupsys (on www.debian.org) btw why does cupsys have a lot of old unfixed bugs (at least some of which are very easy to fix)? is it not maintained anymore? erik
