[gentoo-user] foomatic-configure problems

2005-05-20 Thread Richard Watson 
I've been able to print to a Gentoo Samba server (running a HP510) for ages
from Windows workstations (98 and XP), and still can from Windows. 

I have an old laptop that I recently installed Gentoo and Gnome on as a
workstation. When I try and use foomatic-configure to set up cups to the
same printer it just doesn't work. I must have been through the Gentoo
Printing Guide a dozen times and still can't configure. Im obviously doing
something wrong 

The command I'm issuing is:

foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-DeskJet_510 -c 
smb://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/HP510 -n dj510 -d gimp-print-ijs

The error I'm getting is:

Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Foomatic/DB.pm line 3427.
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
Could not set up/change the queue dj510!

Can anyone help I would be really grateful ... !!  

Regards, Richard

Not necessary on a client. I assume you did this on the cups server
mentioned above when you did the initial setup of the print system (you
are using cups on the server aren't you?)

Just edit /etc/cups/client.conf on the cups client host to point at the
cups server host and u should be all set.
