Hello,

I set up Kubuntu in a bit of an unusual way. I took an Ubuntu CD, installed the base system, and then did apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. I subsequently did all the dist-upgrades, including the upgrade to KDE 3.5. However, I think that something got lost in this approach. I have proprietary Samsung drivers for my CLP-500 printer (whcih were working before I formatted), but they're now telling me the following:

The depndencies for the package are GTK1.2+ (GUI works, so that's not it), Ghostscript (which seems to installed) and CUPS 1.1.x (or any other LPD based system).

I checked, cupsd is installed, cupsys is installed...not sure what else I need. Help is appreciated.

Okay, cups is completely dead. It now gives me the child exited with status 99 error if i run it as root, child exited withs tatus 13 if Irun it as a normal user.

Okay, here's the problem. For some dumb reason, loopback is not being set to 127.0.0.1. Therefore, you must force it.


And that will be the end of CUPS problems. You can also add tis to one of the files in init.d (I added it to the bottom of network, just before exit 0. This prevents you from having to run that command on each boot up.
