I just setup my HP deskjet with CUPS from woody. Read /usr/share/doc/cupsys/README.txt.gz All I did was run the lpadmin cmd as root. In your case try: /usr/lib/lpadmin -p StColor -m stcolor.ppd -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E This sets up the printer on the first parallel port(lp0) uses the EPSON Stylus Color driver which comes with CUPS and gives the printer the name StColor. I also added my normal user account to the lpadmin group which might be a security hole. You can then administer the printer using a browser by: http://localhost:631/ Now I have a question, a stupid one of course. When I use the CUPS web interface the first page is displayed OK as http://localhost:631/. If I click on any of the links then the browser tries to load the page by substituting my hostname(cumulus) for localhost. This workstation is behind a firewall so it doesn't have a true domain. /etc/hosts is: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.3 cumulus /etc/hostname is: cumulus 192.168.1.3 is the NIC's static IP. Is the web browser pulling 'cumulus' from /etc/hostname? How do I tell it that 192.168.1.3 and 127.0.0.1 are the same machine? Am I misunderstanding or are *nix hostname really hostnames per IP? scott ---------------------------------- E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 10-Oct-2000 Time: 08:45:49 This message was sent by XFMail ----------------------------------
