I've run get-apt install cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client foomatic-bin hpijs and got a lot of things installed. The program asked me for default paper size, and suggested A4, which I happily accepted. After that, nothing much happened, but the installation seemed to proceed successfully. However, as I start lynx, I get: lynx: Can't access startfile http://localhost:631/ Neither can I access it from my remote console. How do I start it? I've succeeded in stopping the lpd service by executing /etc/init.d/lpd stop -- but when I try the obvious thing /etc/init.d/cups start, I only get "No such file or directory". I've tried: find / -name "cups*" -print and all I find is /usr/share/doc/gs/pcl3/lib/cups-pcl3.gz. I should probably read that. >You should probably install: >cupsys (cups itself, the server that receives print jobs) >cupsys-bsd (cups version of bsd print command like lpr) >cupsys-client (cups print commands, "lp" and others) Been there, done that. Nothing happens. I miss the sysadm tool in old System V4. Compared to this, it was the epitome of user-friendliness. regards, -- Leif Biberg Kristensen http://solumslekt.org/ mail to leif at solumslekt dot org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
