That is always an option but you may not have exhausted the possibility of manually selecting the printer. Go to Configuration, Printing, CUPS WWW admin tool, click on Manage Printers, Click Add Printer and login as root. Enter the name, location and Description, click Continue. Select Device, I assume parallel port #1. If connected to the router, choose LPD/LPR Host. Select Make, Continue, Model, Continue and you should get that the new printer has been added successfully. Now try to print and see what happens. If you get an error, you may want to check software installation and make sure that you have the cups, cups-drivers, and cups-common packages installed. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
