Re: Debian Printing Again
Hello, This will be the first time I have installed a printer on the machine. I ran Modconf and didnt see anything for a printer. All I see is Ipv4 and net drivers. What am I doing wrong ? I am running potato but I dont think that should make a difference. Thanks On Sun, Jul 09, 2000 at 12:44:56PM -0500, R. D.

RE: Debian Printing Again
I just installed the ljet4 driver for my printer and used magicfilterconfig to do it. I think you mean modconf rather than modconfig and you should not have to do anything with it if you already had another printer working. If this is your first printer, you might have to use the command modconf and select misc drivers, then the lp and parport_pc modules. That's what I had to do to make printing work on kernel 2.2.12. -Original Message- From: Bob Nielsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 08, 2000 2:42 PM To: Jay Kelly Cc: Debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Debian Printing Again I don't know what modconfig is, but if you select the ljet4 filter in magicfilterconfig, that should work with this printer, according to the database at www.linuxprinting.org.

Re: Debian Printing Again
I don't know what modconfig is, but if you select the ljet4 filter in magicfilterconfig, that should work with this printer, according to the database at www.linuxprinting.org.
