Well, I try to accumulate in http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Debian/ fixes that can be easy for the _next_ guy, even if not for the first one. I note in this case: "Printing Setup" on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Debian/ Covers pretty much everything about setup of either CUPS or lpr. > If I don't get my sound working, I'll be back in touch next week and you can > fix that for me too. :-) I don't have a general solution for sound, by contrast, because I've adopted a posture of strategic cowardice in that area: I mostly stick to my antique sound cards (SB AWE32 and such) that are so bog-standard that everything can find them. To my knowledge, current sound-setup problems owe much to the fact that everyone's moving rapidly away from the old kernel-bundled oss-free driver set towards ALSA ones, and ALSA's configuration tools continue to be simply awful. Back when we all used oss-free, the simple fix was to use the sndconfig package (RH-written, kindly placed under GPL by them, and then packaged up for Debian and other distros). With ALSA, I don't personally know of anything analogous. (If anyone knows of such, I'll be grateful to hear of it.) -- Cheers, Hardware: The part you kick. Rick Moen Software: The part you boot.
