Do you have the printer setup in cups?

no, cups is not installd

That would be the only way I know to get printers setup. Many of those apps use the referneces that cups create to use to see printers. Been a long time on manually setup of non cups printers. Sorry

howto install cups??

Based on your sig it says Vector 5.1. Never used it so not familiar with it. But this should work with all distros. Goto http://www.cups.org/ and download the latest source. Then follow the install or readme docs within the archived file. My guess would be this.
./configure make make install ( run as root ) I use Redhat / Redhat clones so I either install source files or build my own RPMs from SRPM. Run the following as root Check to see if ready to go. /etc/init.d/cups status Then start the cups service. /etc/init.d/cups start Then open a web browser and use address http://127.0.0.1:631 Configure printer. If service starts up and can't access the link then make sure the port is open through the firewall if enabled. Check out this link on Printer support and setup help. http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html Brian1 |
