If it were me, I'd install the "lprng" package, then install "magicfilter" which will pretty much set up your printer configuration file (/etc/printcap). If it's a fairly standard, supported printer, magicfilter should have no problems with it.

I've used unix systems for years and am certainly not an expert. I'm new to Linux and just installed it on my pc. Why can't I print? There is no lp, lpr command. There is a /dev/lp0 device and my printer was recognized during installation. I found documentation that said I needed to install a package like LPD, but haven't found any packages that refer to printer in dselect. I think I'm going down the wrong path with this print thing. Any suggestions for getting print capability? I'm heading to the bookstore tomorrow, then maybe I can ask more intelligent questions :o Thanks Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
