Did you get your printer working ? There are 4 nice packages that may make it simple.
If your lucky, the gui will set up every thing you need. > (TEAC CD 540-E manufactured Jan200 - I removed the cover and checked..)is I didn't see a configuration selection in the gui for that specific printer, but it should work as a generic postscript printer. dpkg -l ii lprng 3.7.4-4 lpr/lpd printer spooling system un lprng-doc <none> (no description available) ii lprngtool 1.1.1-3 GUI frontend to LPRng based /etc/printcap ii enscript 1.6.2-4 Converts ASCII text to Postscript, HTML, RTF You may need to download the .deb packages directly from debian.org if you don't want to play with your apt-setup. The man on each will be more specific to your needs than any book in the bookstore. Also it may be a good idea to make a copy of your /etc/printcap config file and store it somewhere safe. This will save time if you are using the same print config package on later installations. -Ted On Thu, Jul 05, 2001 at 08:43:06PM -0800, ftrk wrote: > Hi all, > I was trying to install debian GNU/Linux on a pc previously been running > rh6.2 & later rh7.1.
