Re: Printer Setup Problem
Did the same command work with the Debian PC? Nonetheless have you choose the right driver? It is possible that your printer can´t emulate the old Matrix Printers and so it can´t Print Text directly the same goes for GDI Printers. Hope that helps a little pointing out the Problem.

Please give me an information how to install my network printer. Thanks in advance. Regards, J.H.Kim This will go faster if we know more about the software you are using to connect to the printer. If the printer is a network printer connected via a 'network printer hub you will need the IP address of the hub and the port to which the printer is connected. if it is connected to a windows network you may need to install samba to use it. If it is connected 'directly to the computer that has debian installed, it is not really a network printer. You will also need a printer software interface. I strongly suggest cups as it may be managed adequately from a web interface located at http://localhost:631 on most machines. another very useful tool for managing all of this is webmin.

You would need to use the root user, and the root password. Go to http://localhost:631, and, when asked, use root, and not your regular user. Other stuff you could try: install the package printconf, and then, in the terminal (or konsole, if using kde), as root, run the command printconf. This should set up your printer. If no luck still, search synaptic for stuff for your printer. There are various HP drivers that can be found. See descriptions for the following packages: hpijs, hpijs-ppds, hp-ppd, hpoj, and foomatic-filters-ppds (this one is a big file that includes drivers for most printers that work on Linux -- you probably won't need this, as the hp specific packages should work). Whichever package sounds like the right one for your brand of HP printer, install (and if none of them are right, then just go for foomatic-filters-ppds.

Re: Printer setup?
* Patrick Mauro [EMAIL PROTECTED], 20010410 08:40 +0200: I have an Epson Stylus Color 400. I want to be able to use it with text, pictures, netscape, star office, etc... Well, everything. What do I do? I've been reading vague references to CUPS, magicfilter, apsfilter, stp, etc, etc. Near as I can tell, I use stty -a and /etc/printcaps to set up my printer to accept plain text. (any expansion on this would be great). This wasn't necessary for my Epson Color 900 at work with CUPS (which seems to support Epson quite well!), but YMMV! Do I just need to install some spooling software to deal with the conversion to postscript? (If so, is this what all this apsfilter, magicfilter, CUPS stuff is about?). What packages do I need to install and what are the general steps afterwards? You also need Ghostscript (apt-cache search gs; prefer gs-aladdin, don't forget the fonts) for aps-/magicfilter and lpr/lprng/... CUPS, on the other hand, uses .ppd's (PS Printer Definitions, like drivers) and its own spooling mechanism. From what I've been reading, CUPS is supposed to be the easiest to set up, but is it what I want? Probably, but I had some problems with the web interface, on potato (no probs with testing though). I also have one more question, why does woody have such an old version of openSSH in it? Why isn't it closer to 2.5 (I know, it's not sid, which has 2.5.2p2, but it's running the same version from potato). Don't know :) Good luck Andre Berger[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: printer setup
- this is not a personal remark but a vented frustration - I've mentioned this many times before but it doesn't seem to trickle thru into 'that one thing to do'. Debian Linux has some excellent howto's and readme's wich will get you thru 99.5% of all your installation and configuration trouble. It is worth reading/searching these/thru howto's because they contain exactly what you need. It might take you a few hours or just a few minutes (depends on your skills and chance factor) to get thru it but you'll have learned MUCH more then you started out with. You'll even grasp some basic understanding of your linux system and so on. In the end you'll see this is a good mood of operation, it takes time and yes it's rather tedious/boring/annoying but never a shamefull thing to do. Get yourself Midnight Commander installed as well since it offers a great way to browse thru these documents and also has a good search *cough* engine (just used the find instruction really) wich is easy to use. Lynx might also be usefull if you have the html documentation installed since it offers a fast way to navigate thru the howto's (wich are in html) Really, i had to do it too and yes i hated it at first but know i'm a full fledged documentation worm.

i would try to run magicfilterconfig. I finally got this to work, to my surprise (makes me about 1 for 6 with that package). Ultimately it took purging it and lpr, reinstalling configuring lpr, and only then letting it try to install magicfilter. Oh, and for a deskjet 500, it is absolutely necessary to install the djtools (?) package, as binaries from it are used. rick --

Re: Printer Setup
Thanks for the advice. I used the ljet4l filter and it seemed to have done the trick. I guess I will have to wait for the filter for the 1100 filter to get release at a later date to have it be more specific for my exact printer. I wish I knew what I was doing so I can write one myself and contribute it to debian development. Well, after about 3 weeks of hard work and maybe 40 to 50 install of Linux (I kept switching back and forth between Debian and Red Hat) I think I have finally gotten the hang of things. Thanks to everyone on the group that have answered all of my questions. Oh, and I definitely think Debian is a great Distros because of the flexibility that it presents (lots of packages).

Re: Printer Setup
Hi Craig, That is the default printcap settings when you first install lpr or lprng. You have to run magicfilterconfig--force to replace that printcap which is mainly for dot matrix printers not for ink jets. The Netscape printings clearly indicates that nothing has been processed through the gs postscript filter. After you do magicfilterconfig--force your printcap should look more or less like Bob's email at Thu 11:27 Good luck Alan Craig R.

Re: Printer Setup
I've done that. Tried using gs -sModel=unspec -sOutputFile=\|lpr in Netscape and it begins to proccess in the GohstScript preview window but gives an error... something to do with a particular font. I have gsfonts installed and ghostscript is finding the dir with the fonts. I have default seettings on everything... straight from the deb.

RE: Printer Setup
With lpr as the print command in Netscape, my printer prints: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%BoundingBox: 54 72 558 720 %%Creator: Mozilla (NetScape) HTML - PS and then starts feeding sheets. I have a HP Deskjet 682C which doesn't understand postscript. If you run magicfilterconfig, this should be taken care of. == [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==
Re: Printer Setup
Well, it looks like magicfilter hasn't been configured. I believe this is the default printcap installed by lpr.

Re: Printer Setup
That's what it was... magicfilterconfig kept telling me that a printcap already exists and would exit unless --force. that can be confusing to someone who knows squat about linux printing.
