Is there an easy way to configure a printer? I've spent over 6 hours so far, and all I can print is 2 blank sheets of paper whenever I try to print something.
I was using fluxbox-devel and an HP Deskhet 940c, but I also just tried installing Gnome2 in the hopes it would have a printer config applet - which it doesn't.
I've been trying to follow the instructions in my "FreeBSD Unleashed (2nd ED)" book, the online FreeBSD handbook, and some online resources. Basically, I want to be able to print from within X11 apps - like print a webpage from within Firefox.
I'm not sure if I should be using CUPS or the lpr method, though I'm pretty sure my printer is not a Postscript printer and I must use Ghostsrcipt at some point.
I created some filters, installed ghostscript-gnu, made an entry in /etc/printcap, and am running the lpd daemon. I thought I might have hosed my system by following too many different instructions, so I tried to back out my changes so I could start over. I think I got everything back to the original state.
Any suggestions on getting a local deskjet printer to work with fluxbox and Firefox? I'd also like to be able to print from AbiWord and Gnumeric, if possible.
thx
