(on sid) Okay, I know this is pathetic, but I haven't had printing set up on my user debian machine in ... well, ever. Or several installs ago, anyway. This particular machine tends to be my guinea pig. And printing always seems so complicated and whatnot ... and I rarely print, anyway ... so I just didn't bother. Our printer has its own IP address and all, so this really should be straight-forward; I'm just lazy.
Anyway, I finally did it. It was odd. I had a magicfilter script in place, so I installed lprng and ran the mf configurator. It barfed when it claimed couldn't find /etc/init.d/lpd. So I uninstalled lprng and installed lpr. That gave me permission errors on a non-existent file, namely /var/spool/lpd/<printer>/.seq , iirc. So after trying all sorts of other stuff, I reinstalled lprng and suddenly, it works. Whatever. I can print now. I just need to figure out why firefox is printing pages such that four can fit on a sheet ... not that I mind so much, but it's curious. A matter for another day, I suppose. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
