Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: setting up cups on gentoo

[Collins Richey]

Making some improvements.

1) I don't understand why, but installation of the gimp-print product
cleared up some of the problem.  After restarting cups and after adding
another printer (same entries except name) with lpadmin, the lpadmin panels
now showed that I had a printer with no defined connection.  One of the
other buttons allowed me to reenter the definitions (the same as before),
and viola! the printer worked.

2) Not totally - the lpadmin panels still think that I have no printers
defined when I select the printers button!

3) I added a printer with a smb://host/name definition (just like on
Sybil), but printing to that destination does not work.
