Networkprinting?
 
I have always trouble installing a network printer in Linux, now I have slackware installed and everything just fine except for the printer. I have a printer attached to my Imac and it is shared, other computers can print from it but not my slackware, I have installed avahi and started the daemon and I have installed nss-mdns but no sign of the printer in cups add printer. Any clue????

Are you sure cups is running?
Code:
nmap 127.0.0.1
you should see "631/tcp open ipp" in the output.
If not, do
Code:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups
then
Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
Acquaint yourself with CUPS. Put this in your web browser:
http://localhost:631/

Neither avahi nor nss-mdns are required for printing in a normal
Slackware install. Everything you need is present, unless your printer's
required firmware just isn't in the kernel.

Try to set these parameters in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and restart cups:
