Hi there O Wise Ones, I have tried to install CUPS via <http://localhost;631> and following the prompts, logging in again as root ... until it gives me the message that the new Epson (Stylus Photo 700) has been connected but when I try to print the CUPS test page nothing happens.
I apt-installed the latest version cupsys (1.1.15-3) in case there was a bug and tried again; 'lpq' showed nothing in the queue and having a look at /etc/printcap showed it configured for a dot-matrix printer rather than the Stylus Photo ink-jet. I installed xpp ... but no luck ... it is not writing to /etc/printcap. I have the option of apt-installing the old RH favourite 'printtool' and hoping that could do something with the script but I have previously been successful with CUPS and would like to get it right. I'd really like to get on top of this as soon as possible as I am packing everyting at the moment before a move in two weeks time. I'd send my /etc/printcap if exim was working ... I have been getting the message "lookup of host "Primus" failed in smarthost router" and going into /etc/exim.conf and trying 'route_list = "* Primus bydns_a" and 'route_list = "* 203.134.64.66 byname" without luck. 'Mozilla-mail' has been sending and receiving without a hitch. Any ideas ?
