above shows that your printer is "GENERIC PostScript Printer". Is that what http://localhost:631 reports? > The output of lpq reveals: lpq: printer not found I would try: lpoptions -d <printer name reported by cups/http> > media=Letter |\ sides=one-sided finishings=3 copies=1 job-hold-until=no-hold |\ job-priority=50 number-up=1 auth-info-required=none |\ job-sheets=none,none printer-is-accepting-jobs=1 printer-is-shared=1 \| printer-location printer-state=3 printer-state-change-time=1215794769 \| printer-state-reasons=none printer-type=12316 warning, untested: read "man lpoptions" and save the output of "lpoptions" so you can restore it if the above makes a mess :^( > As stated earlier, if I use X apps (Thunderbird for example) I have no > problem printing. What distro are you running? Have you *ever* been able to print from the cl? What printer and what name is assigned in cups? ps: this conversation may be off-topic or vary loosely on-topic as it pertains to/originated with printing from mutt. ps1: I use muttprint but it requires lp to know your printer. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
