cups Administration with Webinterfaces: - Device: Parallel Port missing

2004-03-26 Thread Christian Tanghe 
Hi, 
in brief:
My system: FBSD 5.2 Current, Cups, Gimp-print and ghostscript from this days

I want to add a locally connected Printer using the webinterface. In the
dropdown menue Device apear different printer devices, e.g. LPD/LPR Host or
Printer and IPP, but _not_ Parallel Port.

1. what is wrong?

2. are more infos about the System needed?

3. right group?

Thank you, greetings
Christian

It doesn't see or know that there's something on the par port.

What printer and what does 'dmesg' say about it? 

I've been scratching my head a while ago when setting up cups because of the 
same problem, and I found out that if my printer was on while booting, it 
would report something like lpt0: HP OfficeJet PNP on ppbus0 suggesting 
something plug and play instead of lpt0: Printer on ppbus0 if the printer 
was turned off. You might want to try that (only for first time detection).  

 3. right group?

Yes.

 Thank you, greetings
