Can't install printer Knoppix 3.3/KDE
Installed Knoppix 3.3 to HD, runs great, but unable to add printer.
Go into KDE Control Centre, peripherals, printers, properties, and no printer is listed. The ?change? button is greyed out. ?Print system currently used? shows ?Generic Unix LPDPrint System (Default)?. If I select ?Add? from the menu bar, ?Add Printer/Class? is greyed out. If I select ?Configure Printer? from the Knoppix menu, and enter the Root password when requested, and select ?properties?, there is no printer listed, and again, the ?Change? button is greyed out, and it reports ?Print System Currently Used: CUPS?. When I installed to HD, I elected NOT to install SAMBA. Is that related to my printer install problem? Computer is Pentium IV, 2.4 Ghz, 512 Mb, 80 Gb HD w W98SE on 60 Gb part, and 2 Gb swap part and 18 Gb part for Linux. Printer is HP Laserjet III, parallel port. Works fine under W98SE. How can I add this printer so that Knoppix/KDE recognizes it? Forget it! - Problem solved! How? I dunno - somehow accidentally discovered the printer install wizard, (they'll HAVE to hide it better!) and now we're printing. So long, Windows. |
