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."

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

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

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
