Hi dear Debian gurus,
I am a home user running slink (Debian 2.1).
I've installed the cups 1.0.5 deb package which overwrites my
original lprng package.
But when I try to do
lpr ~/.bashrc it says lpr: error -- no default destination
avaiable
then I go through the web for cups related docs and I found
http://cups.sourceforge.net.
Then I followed the steps
1. [bash] lpstat -o Enter ==> nothing comes out
2. [bash] cupsd& Enter ==> [1] 523 (I've tried a few times, some are
629, 1003)
3. [bash] lpstat -o Enter ==> [1]+ Exit 98 cupsd (I've win98
on the same disk)
what is that mean ?
Issued the command again lpr ~/.bashrc same error message.
Then I try to add the printer by doing
[bash] lpadmin -dHewlett Packard Deskjet 660C -vparallel:/dev/lp1
-mdeskjet.ppd
it responds with: Authentication required for root on localhoist...
UNIX Password:
then I entered my root login password. It then responds with:
lpadmin: set default failed: The requested
resource was not found on this server.
and jumped back to the command prompt.
How to get cups up and running ?
Thanks in advance.
Alan
