Lot's of questions, little in the way of help to follow. :) Is /etc/printcap still an empty file? If so, does starting and stopping lpd work? Does it result in any log messages? Is Printcap still empty after restarting lpd? How is the printer connected? When you ran printconf, was the printer detected? At bootup, is the printer detected? What kind of printer, and what driver does it use? > If I do echo hello | lpr, I get a message about no printer defined. So, you define a printer via printconf-gui, save and restart lpd. No message on restarting? Checking the log, no errors reported? Looking in /var/spool/lpd/$queuename/ you see config files, log, driver info, etc? > Any further thoughts? I have to admit, I'm running out of ideas. If this is a usb printer, is the correct module being loaded? Some people have mentioned no module being loaded, but usually accompanied by an error message about 'no such device'. If this is the case, 'modprobe printer' might help. Good luck, hope this helps. If it doesn't, David Talkington posted a howto on installing cups and gimp-print earlier tonight. ;) - -D - -- pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/pgpkey.txt - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7+JDveMAUbzJhSVcRAlm9AJ4j8PTdhrlhKqr2Lvc71LrRfaK/cgCfYlZy ymKyacZpeLnwN4NmUtLr6GM= =Lx2+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
