Re: [Cooker] printing with cups

[Till Kamppeter]

There is a bug in printerdrake not setting the automatic loading of the
USB printer kernel module at boot time. I have already reported it to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

For the first time add the line "PRINTER=yes" to the /etc/sysconf/USB
file and enter

   chkconfig --add usb
   /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb restart
   /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart

From now on and after every boot your USB printer will be available.

 Hello cooker,
 I've had this problem with each of the three betas;
 My Epson 860 USB printer is recognized at installation with the correct
 filters, etc. (cups) and I'm able to print a test page that looks just
 great!  No matter what I try however after install, I cannot get the printer
 to print.  Any suggestions?

I had that problem in Beta 1 and Beta 2 but it was gone in Beta 3.  I have
the Epson 870 USB.

Hello cooker,
I've had this problem with each of the three betas;
My Epson 860 USB printer is recognized at installation with the correct
filters, etc. (cups) and I'm able to print a test page that looks just
great!  No matter what I try however after install, I cannot get the printer
to print.  Any suggestions?

Is the USB starting? There must be a module "printer" in the output of
"lsmod". Check /etc/sysconf/usb. It must contain the line

   PRINTER=yes

If this is not the case enter the line and restart at first the USB
services and then the CUPS daemon:

   /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb restart
   /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart

Now it should work. Tell me if nor.
