Re: Fwd: Re: [newbie] Printer setup on 8.0
The case that one cnot enter something with the keyboard is a known problem of the Mandrake Control Center. It happens to me, too, but only sometimes. If you close the Control Center or printerdrake and open it again, it should normally work. But as mentioned there are better alternatives for printerdrake: "kups" is the most sophisticated printer admin program, and there is also a web interface (http://localhost:631/). They both have more functionality than printerdrake. "pup" does not add CUPS queues, PUP is a program to adjust the default settings of laser printers and also gives some maintanance options for Lexmark inkjets. It is independent of CUPS or LPD. You start it logged in as "root" and it sends its commands directly to the printer port. Therefore it works only with local printers.

Nope.. haven't gotten any replies yet... Don't think I got any CUPS errors, just not letting me type ANYTHING at all in those spaces.. - Original Message - From: Wendell Gragg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 8:32 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Printer setup on 8.0 > have you gotten any replies on this?

[newbie] Printer setup on 8.0
I've just installed LM8.0 and when I go to the printer setup, and choose network printer, and go to the next screen that wants the printer name, etc, it won't let me type anything in the blank spaces so I can tell it WHERE the printer is. Has anyone run into this problem? Thanks, Tom http://1cis.com Free E-mail Servers with unlimited mailboxes 1st Class Internet Solutions
