Re: [expert] Fw: Fw: Yet another printing question
Have you tried; http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/hardware/hcups0.html Cups continues to be a love/hate relationship with Mandrake users It works for me most every time since its implementation... However some have had better luck with. TurboPrint for Linux http://www.turboprint.de The free version works fine... The pay version at 20$ U.S. is still a bargain with higher resolution, extra features, etc... I must admit the most frustrating experience with new versions of any distribution is when a functioning machine/peripherals/hardware ceases to perform without problems upon installing a new version...

Re: [expert] Fw: Fw: Yet another printing question
Oscar, Many thanks for the time you are taking on this. Yes, the owner of /usr/bin/lpq, lpr and lprm is lp:lp. Same with /dev/lp0. No. I cannot print as root.

Greetings once again, Well, suffice it to say, no one has chimed in with any suggestions yet. I have another clue which my eyes noticed during the boot process last night, for what it's worth.

It appears that my printer is recognized (or at least is reflected by name in the configuration files I've checked) leading me to believe I have a CUPS problem. Indeed, when I try (as root) in a terminal window to bring up KUPS, I receive the following: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed DCOPServer up and running. language: C The Kups window then comes up but nothing is reflected as an installed printer. Anyone have any experience with this? I've reinstalled once (as an update) with the same results. Thanks in advance. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
