Hi Brian, Thanks for that I added the parport_pc via modprobe. I still have problems however. I have enabled debug mode in cupsd.conf and now I get [29/Jul/2005:15:59:47 +1000] [Job 4] /usr/bin/gs: error while loading shared libraries: libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gs -l also produces ... gs: error while loading shared libraries: libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Looks like a problem with ghostscript ... I have hardcoded the printers.conf file <DefaultPrinter HPLj3330> Info My Printer Location Back Room DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0 State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer> Will advise further _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
