Did you change your repositories? These new dependancy problems just showed up after you tried to do an update? Is that an apt-get update Can you run * sudo su dpkg-query -l | grep -v ^ii* and look for broken packages? On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 12:51 AM, Ralph Boland rpbol...@gmail.com wrote:

Quite a while ago I noticed aptitude as apposed to dpkg seemed able to handle things more gracefully. Aptitude can do some command line stuff too. Am I the only one who noticed this? And would it help in this case? Mel On Wed, 2011-11-23 at 09:43 -0700, Royce Souther wrote: Did you change your

Are you using Ubuntu? They did a crap job converting only some services to upstart and breaking everything with their half-ass transition. I had the same problem trying to get NFS to run. The upstart script for portmap did not exist and the /etc/init.d script refused to let me run it because it

There are two versions of the .deb file - one for working with CUPS and one for doing LPD. I used the one for CUPS, seeing as I usually deal with CUPS when working with printers. I believe the LPD version would be for systems that do not have CUPS. Is it possible to try the other version?

It looks like your error is in the post removal script so look for .postrem or something to that affect. Looks for lines that have lpd in them. Post them in a reply email if the answer is not clear. On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 4:07 PM, Royce Souther osgn...@gmail.com wrote: Try this sudo dpkg -P

I have this same printer running flawlessly in our Ubuntu only network (ok, there are some windows VMs too, but that doesn't matter for this discussion...) ... Encouraged by Shawn's success with my printer model and Ubunutu I tried again. I failed again. Worse, I seem to have entered dpkg
