Re: printtool error
Yep - search for XAUTHORITY in the archives. ('export
XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority' before running 'su' - not 'su -' - is one
quick fix.)
Ahh thanks, that worked, now a quick followup:
my printer is conected to the printerport of my router ip
192.168.123.254:515 What is the correct protocal for that?
is that lpd or Direct Port?
thanks,
Jule

If you are, there are some ways that you can let that happen, and there was a large thread about this a short while ago, but I can't look itup right now. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Cups has an easy to use graphical setup just point your browser at ``http://localhost:631/'' or can be at the command line with lpadmin and has both SYSV and BSD printing commands. XPP is an X program for printing, you can use it to set the printing quality, color|monochrome ect. -- Joel

If not, how do you folks configure printers? There is a package for printtool in testing/unstable. Personally, I've always used magicfilter's magicfilterconfig to configure a printer. Other possibilities are apsfilter and cups.

If not, how do you folks configure printers? - The best one I have seen to date is the KDE frontend to cups. It worked flawlessly even with my old Canon LBP 430. It even handles the tray correctly for the first time with any Linux printing system. KDE requires either the entire KDE system or some/most will run under Gnome/Enlightenment. There may be others but I only have tried those. IMHO Gnome is faster, KDE is more robust. John

And > printtool locks up and won't do anything. Obviously a bug? If all else fails try "magicfilter" instead of printtool. Always worked fine for me. And I see it has filters for Epson StylusColor 600 printer at 360, 720 and 1440 dpi. # apt-get install magicfilter # magicfilterconfig HTH -- Thank you, Joe Bouchard Powered by Debian GNU/Linux

RE: printtool
Did you run 'apt-get update' first? If you have the correct sources in your /etc/apt/sources.list, the package should be there. I used printtool to configure my Epson printer. If you still cannot find it, so to the Debian website and click the "Packages" link, then searcg for it. -- Andrew On 29-Jul-2000 Dale Morris wrote: > Newbie question: I'm told I can use Redhat's printtool to configure my > printer.
