i have a newly installed 2.4.20 kernel, running testing, and have a few new problems, as well a solution to some of my older ones!
i have installed cups and have a usb printer. the printer (epson stylus 740, usb) is being seen by the computer (i can lpr a text file, on settings set on http://localhost:631/admin) however, i have two problems: i cannot print from either gimp or mozilla (1.5) mozilla v.1.5: there is apparently no recognition in the system that i have requested something to be printed. This doesn't seem to be (only?) a cups issue as I cannot print to a .ps file either. gimp v.1.2: ascii characters, not the image are printed from a png file i used as an example. I tried a re-installation of gimp-print from source, (by hand, not debian, having some vague recollection that i did this last time in my old kernel and it solved the problem) using ./configure--with-cups and was told: checking for cups-config... no checking for socket in -lsocket... no checking for gethostbyaddr in -lnsl... yes checking for openssl/ssl.h... yes checking for SSL_new in -lssl... yes checking for cupsPrintFiles in -lcups... no configure: error: Cannot find CUPS libraries (libcups) So i was unable to solve the problem like that... Grateful for pointers, will happily provide diagnostics, tia dee -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
