What's the best way currently to set KDE up for printing? Have you done this recently?
Specifically: Recent Woody install. This will be primarily for printing web pages from Konq. using a recent parallel port Epson Inkjet printer which is supposed to be well supported for Linux: http://www.linuxprinting.org/suggested.html http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/install Has section: 9: Next Steps and Where to Go From Here Which doesn't have any suggestions about printing. http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/os.html#OSPRINTING Points to an outdated howto, whose current version is here: http://www.linuxprinting.org http://www.linuxprinting.org/howto/ I glanced at that, and Printing Software by Grant Taylor, in Category Reviews - Saturday, September 15th 2001 00:00 EST at: http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/296/ (Aside: Among other things, this says: "The gimp-print project has produced a driver suite that drives most Epson Stylus and many other brands of color inkjet printers." So, do I need to install GNOME stuff to get that?) I searched the Debian KDE archive for last quarter and found articles like: Printing with CUPS 1.1.10 on KDE 2.1.2 http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2001/debian-kde-200110/msg00044.html So, that's on a specific package (CUPS). But, I didn't find anything about _how_ to determine _which_ printing sw to use. ********** There is quite a bit to digest in the above links. I'm hoping someone here (you?) has digested that (& perhaps more) and will save me/us some time with a quick suggestion of the best [referencing: http://www.linuxprinting.org/howto/ & http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/296/ ] drivers spoolers user interfaces to use, and how to get them installed on a KDE system. So, specifically: 1) What packages should I apt-get, 2) How to install which drivers, 3) etc. [I'm new to doing printer setup on Linux. All help/suggestions appreciated. Thanks! :) ] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo! Mail! http://promo.yahoo.com/videomail/
