Gimp Message Print Message
lpr The printer or class was not found
Mepis Synaptic installed DCP-130c

Wish to print using Gimp
Any help appreciated

I use CUPS web panel to add and configure a printer. In GIMP, select the printer and change its setting. The syntax in the settings should have "-o raw" for laser printers. Also in the settings the ppd file should be /etc/cupsd/[name_of_printer].ppd or was it /etc/cupsd/printers/[name_of_printer].ppd. This file changes when you use the CUPS web panel or use webmin. I do not suggest using the GUI tools that came with the distribution to setup CUPS and printers.

The correct command for most setups should be lp. The utility lpr should work too, but its different.

I suggest browse through linuxprinting.org.

Hi Electro

Could you please clarify these commands.

Have browsed through linuxprinting.org
Will be nice to have Gimp print to DCP 130c
Thanks for reply

Don't mess with cups like that. You need to launch a web browser, and go to 'localhost:631' to configure cups. After you get the printer installed in the web-based cups interface, go into gimp and and choose that printer in print setup. Print a test page to make sure everything is working right, also. You need to enter root <root password> to add a printer in cups.

Hi AwesomeMachine
Thanks for details of localhost:631
Plenty to read and learn
/etc/cups/cups.d/Brother 130c/.ppd
