Dear Debian users, I had a Canon BJC-1000SP printer running on my Redhat 9.0 KDE system, and I recall that setting it up was fairly straightforward.
... but I have lost it on my Debian Sarge/testing KDE system. It is quite perplexing. dmesg tells me that my printer has been detected; parport0: Printer, Canon BJC-1000SP lp0: using parport0 (polling). ... when I print from Open Office Writer, it appears as if the document has printed successfully. although the informative window vanishes too quickly for me to read it, but nothing comes out of the printer. I have done another experiment with lpr: r:init.d$ ./cupsys stop r:init.d$ ./cupsys start Starting printing system service: cupsd. r:init.d$ lpr /etc/fstab lpr: connect: No such file or directory jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. Is this related to the failure of OpenOffice writer to print the document? How do I diagnose this problem? TIA.
