In cups admin at http://localhost:631. I used to use kde printer manager, presumably parallel to your cnome-cups-manager, but now I have descended to icewm, I stay with the generic tool. I do not have gnome installed (rather, only the bits needed to make gnumeric run). > > Here is a list of the cups related packages I have installed if it > helps (I am not sure all are needed but I didn't feel like trying > to figure which to throw out): Thanks for the checklist. I know I did not succeed with all of these, and probably the missing ones are the source of the problem (ignoring gnome-cups-manager).
