Problems printing with CUPS
 
Hiya,

I'm on slack 10 and I'm trying to set up my printer. It is an Epson Stylus C42UX. I added it using the CUPS web control panel, and it seems to print the CUPS test page correctly. However, when I try 'lpr Epson@localhost test_print' I get the following error:
Code:

Warning - Cannot open file 'Epson@localhost', No such file or directory
Status Information, attempt 1 of 3:

Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

Try lpr-cups instead of lpr. If that works, delete lpr and make lpr a symlink to lpr-cups.

OK, thanks! That worked!
