Maybe you need to specify the print command somewhere? > When you installed cups, it installs its own lp* binaries, usually under /usr/local. So you need to override the systems default lp* commands in /usr/bin either by removing thier executable bit or by putting /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in your $PATH. At the shell prompt, do lp <tab><tab> and it will list all the lp* commands on your system. All my cups commands are in /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin. When you installed cups you will have had to set up the printer by using the local web interface at http://localhost:631 in a browser and making sure from there, using the admin tool, that your printer is found and configured as the default printer. Have you done all of that already? However, I do use a BSD system so my set up will be different to a Debian system, but the principals of cups and setting it up are the same. The command lpr is the correct command to use from the command-line and any command-line programs like mutt, you just need to point it/them to the cups lpr instead of the default versions. In your muttrc, setting $print_command to something like "cups" is incorrect. It must be set to either a script that deals with the print commands required or to a print binary installed on your system, such as set print_command=/usr/local/bin/lpr. I have not used muttprint before but you should review its documentation on how to set it up correctly. As I understand it, it's a trivial thing. -- Primary Key: 4096R/1D31DC38 2011-12-03 Key Fingerprint: A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38
