I have been trying to get cups and printing to work in Mandrake 8.0/cooker. No go. I cannot connect to my cups server though it is running. I try to run DrakConf to setup my printer and go from there. No go, DrakeConf doesn't work AT ALL. I get the window with the icons OK but no matter which one I select, when it tries to detect a printer (or mouse or whatever) it doesn't do anything and the xterm from which I am running DrakConf give me crap like: [root@localhost kde]# DrakConf Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/X11R6/bin/DrakConf.real line 203, <VERS> line 1. test 1 1 Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at /usr/X11R6/bin/DrakConf.real line 518, <VERS> line 1.

Nice. What does it take to get printing and drakconf to work in Mandrake 8.0? I downloaded the source rpm for DrakConf and built and installed it. STILL wont work and STILL gives the above errors. Something isn't being checked for during configure, it seems, when one builds DrakConf since it didn't have any problems building and configure found no problems. -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.
