printer setup
Hello list,
I have been migrating an i386 system to a debian testing
amd64 workstation. Debian testing netinstall of 1/4/7
installed perfectly (mobo: MSI-K8T Master2-FAR; two
opterons). I then set up a KDE desktop, migrated /home,
set up all the apps I need for my essential tasks. Thank
you all very much for your excellent work.
At this point, I disconnected the printer (Samsung
ML-1430, fully supported by foomatic/gdi, according to
linuxprinting.org) from the i386 box, and reconnected it
to the new amd64 box. I attempted to configure the
printer through the KDE kprinter application. I
eventually got to the point that I could send a print job
from gv, the printer would go through the warming up
cycle, and then sit idle. The failed printjob did not
show up where I could see it. lpq shows nothing, lpr does
not work.
My best guess as to my miss-step is that I accepted
encyption and authentication in the kprinter setup as
defaults, and muddled the choices involved. I expect that
I compounded my errors by subsequently using apt-get to
try to remove cups and install lprng, and later to undo
those actions. I understand that cups is preferred.
Below are the last 50 lines of /var/log/cups/error_log.
I need to be able to print textfiles and postscript from
the commandline, and to print from within windowed apps as
well. I wonder if there is a way to re-run
debian-installer for nothing but the printer installation?
I would like to have a clean slate for printer
installation, without undoing the work I have done on the
rest of the system. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
I apologize if this is the wrong list for this issue.
