I have a printer installed under Mandrake 8.1. The printer works with a print test and Netscape. However, when I try to setup a printer for WP 8.0, I find no destination available for assignment to the printer. The only choice I get is between printing to disk and printing to $PRINTER, but I cannot assign a destination to $PRINTER. In Mandrake 8.1, my printer is called "Brother" and set up as an HP Laserjet IIP. When I installed WP 8.0, I installed the drivers for HP Laserjet IIP and for the specific Brother model that I have (which emulates the HP Laserjet IIP). As noted, however, the installation program that no destinations were available for assignment to either driver.
I have seen discussion of creating a RAW printer, but I have no idea how to do that. Also, I don't see how I could assign a destination to that either. What am I doing wrong? How do I fix it? -- Jim Marshall
