_(other DebianTips)_ In order to administer printers your userid needs to be in the =lpadmin= group. ---+ Debian Jessie The web admin interface isn't enabled by default but you can enable it using the GNOME printer settings app. The recommended driver isn't as good as =HPLaserJet 4L - CUPS + Gutenprint v5.2.10=. ---+ Debian Squeeze Slightly peculiar setup using an old <nop>LaserJet 4l laser printer with a USB parallel port adaptor. Using hplip, hplip-cups. Cups won't see the printer until you install hplip, but then it shows up in the "add printer" list as "HP Printer". Printer connection URL is =usb://HP/LaserJet%204L=.<br/> Driver is =HP <nop>LaserJet 4L - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5 (grayscale)=. ---+ Debian 3.0 a/k/a Woody I'm using foomatic, lprng. The Epson Stylus config file appears to be /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/83520.xml =foomatic-configure -n queue1 -c <nop>file:/dev/lp0 -p 83520 -d gimp-print= adds an entry in =/etc/printcap=. ---+ Debian 2.2 a/k/a Potato I'm running Debian 2.2 (a.k.a. Potato). First get the right kernel modules set up - you need parport.o, parport_pc.o and lp.o. I had to add a line to /etc/modutils/arch/i386: =options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7= and then run =update-modules=. For some reason CUPS had a problem with PAM so I couldn't connect as root so I couldn't add any printers. I think it's because I have something configured to not allow root to login remotely. Not sure how to change that. I tried =lprng= with =apsfilter= and they seem to work great. I think that you need to restart lpd after you're done running apsfilterconfig: =# /etc/init.d/lprng restart= I have an old Epson Stylus Photo which seems to work fine with the "uniprint" drivers. -- Main.TobyCabot - 25 Jan 2001 <br>
