Printing Woes


i was trying to set up to print on another machine via shared printer, but it didn't work. now everytime i try to go into to "configure Computer">Hardware and run the printer setup it just has a caouple of pop-ups flash by and then just becomes a white screen. after a while it will say something like "CUPS unavailable". how do i get it where i can change the setup. i hooked the printer up directly, but it still does the same thing. i'm using mandriva 2k6 official 64 bit version. thanks.

Be sure that CUPS is installed [Go to software manager in your distro and check if CUPS is installed].

After that be sure that the printer is supported by Linux.

fixed the prob by just re-installing mandriva and then got the setup to work properly. now printing pages with no difficulty.
