I guess I could edit the config files, but I would need to do that for all of the DSL apps I'm likely to print from.
That's why all those ./rc files are there. An alternative is to print from command line.
You can also make drag and drop scripts -- use DSL 4's ability to drag and drop for tasks like that. Make one executable script to print a file, even associate an icon for your printer on your desktop. Drag files to it to print the files.looks like it tried to connect to a lpd... I think theres lpd included in DSL you could try starting... (DSLPanel?)I'm pretty sure that the issue is /usr/bin/lp and /usr/bin/lpr - if I delete them and replace them with the following symlinks:
Then I can print from various apps without problems, what I'd like to do (rather than this blunt instrument solution) is have DSL search /opt/hplip/bin before /usr/bin on a global basis rather than just from a terminal window.umm, why is replacing those two files a bluntier solution than editing PATH in bashrc/bash_profile?Where would you put an "export PATH=" statement in .bashrc/.bash_profile? I don't see any references to the path in those files on my machine...Next Page...
