Unable to print


Hi there,

I configure my HP Deskjet 880C with apsfilter and print the test page succesfully but I can't print or choose my printer in apps like galeon, koffice, mozilla, ...
So I know the printer is working but how to use it (which command ?) for my apps ?
Thanks in advance

Take a look at your etc/printcap and see which printer is the default printer. (The one that is not commented out and the line starts with lp Or you could pass your printer arguments with the -P switch.

Last time I used apsfilter it left my default printer as the generic printer.
