How do I get cups to work on gentoo? |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Here's what I've done |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
per instructions on the cups site |
| 6 |
1) setup /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic (755) |
| 7 |
2) setup /usr/local/bin/foomatic-gswrapper (755) |
| 8 |
3) added the appropriate Canon-BJC-610.....ppd file |
| 9 |
3) /etc/rc.d/init.d/cupsd start |
| 10 |
4) lpadmin (fails with client error) |
| 11 |
5) http://localhost:631/admin |
| 12 |
brings up login screen (used root) |
| 13 |
did add printer dialog, prompts for parport, Canon and the .ppd file I |
| 14 |
added |
| 15 |
says added lp0 |
| 16 |
but manage printers says no printers! |
| 17 |
6) cat xyz | lpr -Plp0 puts a file in /var/sppol/cups but no printing |
| 18 |

Any clues about what I've missed? |
