I hope this helps; I also should be able to dig up the URL for that permafrost "archival" copy of it, on the "lurker" archive on the PLUG website - but that might have to wait for the repair of some thing that you seemed to be saying was broken (I didn't understand that part, completely...) -- Mike Schwartz Glendale AZ schwartz@acm.org Mike.L.Schwartz@gmail.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: chip33az@netscape.net Date: Dec 21, 2006 7:45 AM Subject: Re: printer To: Main PLUG discussion list I don't know. I typically add printers via the CUPS interface ( in the browser goto localhost:631 ). When I added the packages below, I get a long listing of the printers. Make sure you stop/stop CUPS after adding the packages. bmike101@cox.net wrote: well, I installed it but no additional printers are showing in kaddprinterwizard. Is something supposed to? What do I choose if not. On Tuesday 19 December 2006 8:33 pm, chip33az@netscape.net wrote: I set up a printer today (test laptop). I installed: hplip hplip-data foomatic-filters-ppds hpijs got installed as well, but I think it was a dependency on one of those.

The other packages are hplip (and I think there is a data package as well) and a few of the foomatic packages. I typically search for hplip in Synaptic and get the ones that look like it. I really should write it down one day. After you install the hplip and foomatic, you will need to restart CUPS to have it recognize the changes. bmike101@cox.net wrote: okay..... here is the problem, kaddprinterwizard on my system lists 4 printers: 4 differant laserjet printers. I tried to apt-get install a new version but it responded that no package was available. How does one update the printer list?

Probably in gnome config setup....not a gnome fan at all. I am using usb as a connection tho. Never did get parallel port to work. Just fyi. It works fine for what I do so far. That is all I had to do. PDF's print funny, by using the popup thingy and changing from saving the file to print and telling it lpr in the command line at the top of the box...at least in kDE version. ymmv.
