Problems persist. I think I have the symbolic links right, but when I start printtool it does not see my printer, when I try detect I get this error "Could not find pconf_detect command-line utility required for auto-detection. Make sure that the gnulpr printfilters package is properly installed."

Thanks for the feedback ! The same machine has L-M 6.1, RH52 and win 95 installed and the printer works fine with the other OS's. A followup to this list I sent today did not arrive or else got '/dev/nulled" :>) so I will add the latest development: Shortly after a repeated print failure and

I can sing a ballade about current lpr-bugs... This is becomming utterly annoying - i have been using linux for 5 years and NEVER BEFORE have i seen such a grave bug (or is it better to say "such a beautifull bug-zoo"?) persisting for such a long time in any linux distribution. One of the p

To all those who have helped and have also wrestled with these various problems. The lsmaod check remended me of a post several weeks ago. I managed to track it down and tried it out. So far I have had a functioning printer for three days running now, a new record for me in Linux-Mandrake 6.1, bu

Well for now Printer Woes are over concerning the bizzarre behavior detailed in previous posts. The final solution to getting my printer working was removing the lpr-0.43-1mdk.i586.rpm (the 'update') and replacing it with: lpr-0.38-3mdk.i586.rpm (the default in 6.1 Helios) This was brought to m

Dear friends: 1) Will the downgrade lpr-0.38-3mdk.i586.rpm work with my Epson Stylus Color 600. It passed all three printing tests in printtool with flying colors but the lpq (and lprm) does not work. 2) If so, where can I get the downgrade? Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher Email:[EMAIL PROT

lpr-0.38-3mdk.i586.rpm is the original 'lpr.rpm' on the 6.1 Helios cd I got from the Linux-Mandrake site so it should be there or a mirror. Dont know if it will fix your problem though. I too sometimes find lprm acting very strangely!? Never, Never, NEVER happened with any distribution of Linu
