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.

After a suggestion by ke4nt, I added the cupsd start line to bootlocal.sh and alls well!

The USB mouse works in harmony no problems now. :cool:

Now the fun begins, got to work out how to add the filters and file for my Samsung so it'll work! :laugh:

[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

Went out of X, but this time there were no error USB messages
