Okay, how to install CUPS server, Mandrake 10


Getting farther along with this distro than any other past attempt.... :-)

Somewhere, while tweaking for speed, I was told to delete the CUPS server. No big that I did, but I am of the impression that I need it to print <g>

I have looked through the configuration panel and other places I hardly knew existed, but have not found out yet how to install CUPS and printer support.

Any advice would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks,

John

You have two options.

Go into the MCC and "install" a printer.

This will automatically install CUPS for you.


You can also open a console, su to root and type


urpmi cups


BUT it would be a GOOD IDEA if before you did this that you set up your URPMI sources as per http://www.zebulon.org.uk/urpmi_en.html

As always, very appreciative of the helpful reply. Working fine now....

FWIW, I tried to install the printer to force the CUPS to install and it didn't work, but the urpmi cups loaded it up and now I have my printers working.

Thanks very much.
