Cups problem

hitest · 09-23-2005, 02:07 PM

Hello,

I ran Debian 3.1 for a time on my system, but, had a heck of a time setting up printing. I kept getting a cups error, that is, it said the cups serer was not available or something. Is there something I have to do to get cups running on start-up?
Thank you for your replies.
My epson stylus c86 works fine on my ubuntu box, so I'm assuming it should be recognized by Debian 3.1.

Hi samael126,

I just wanted to extend a big thank you for your help!

This evening I used my 180 MB netinstall debian CD and got rid of my Suse 9.3 install. I'm now posting from Debian 3.1. Your thread that you linked to did the trick. I used a terminal to install cups and it worked! I'm printing in Debian!
Thanks again, much appreciated!
