I have not studied this thread deeply, but I have had problems with cups in the past, when tried to add the printer. One of them, I discovered that cups should be installed before gtk+, or the web administration interface would not find the printer. Another similar problem of not finding the printer was with udev. This, I solved in [1]. However, my printer is Epson and I use gutenprint. -- []s, Fernando [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/blfs-support@linuxfromscratch.org/msg15647.html -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
