Thank you Peter. But all the problem has come from the failure to install some files, The files include: cupsys, cupsys-bsd, cupsys-client, foomatic-bin When I try to use apt-get -install, I get an error msg of failed dependencies which I have failed to fulfil. Actually I have tried to meet the dependencies of one file(cupsys) and it put me to a cyclic return. When I tried using synaptic, under networking, selecting some of them, I released that some dependencies actually cannot be installed. Which leaves me wondering. Otherwise, if there is some one who has managed to install those files, please come to ma rescue.
