After much tussling with getting cups and OO to work on my laptop (via the sourc files).Someone suggested cups.dsl, installed that. But when I came to start cupsd, my USB mouse locked?! When I leave X i get various errors saying it want possible to reassing an address to a device? Anyone else had this? ![]() [update] Moved the printer to the primary USB hub on my box (onboard) and used a PS/2 mouse. Cupsd started happily and I could get to the admin screen. The USB mouse worked if I went back out of X and redid xsetup.sh. To double check I rebooted the box (with USB mouse back in), upon starting cupsd, the mouse locked again ![]() Also, I can only assume to save space, most of the printers arent listed. Ive copied over the .ppd fie for my laser printer which is working on the laptop (apt-get install of CUPS). The printer is listed and I can setup it up in cups admin, but it wont print a test page. Is there another driver file/s I'm missing? [note]I'm using a HDD install. [/update] Posted by libretto on July 15 2005,22:11
After a suggestion by ke4nt, I added the cupsd start line to bootlocal.sh and alls well! ![]() ![]() Now the fun begins, got to work out how to add the filters and file for my Samsung so it'll work! ![]() [EDIT]Still not luck with getting the printer going. Got USBview.dsl, the printer is listed, but when I click on it the information panel goes blank and the USB mosue locks again ![]() ![]() |
