Hello, > Is there a graphic interface for installing > a printer in Debian Linux KDE? not really, but something like it. Try installing cups (apt-get install cupsys cupsys-client). It will also install apache (web server). Then you will be able to configure your printer by using the adress http://localhost:631/ in your favourite web browser (no importance which one). There you will have an interface that is quite easy to use. But it will probably not preserve you from reading some docs. Have a look at http://www.linuxprinting.org/, it is _the_ reference link for printing under linux, like its name tells. There you can browse the printers by brand name or by driver in order to see if your printer is supported. > Can anyone please tell me how I define a printer > is connected by Ethernet? try this command: lpadmin -p <name_you_want_to_give> -E -v http://<hostname>:631/printers/<name_of_the_printer_on_host> -m <driver for your printer>.ppd see "man lpadmin" for details But you will have to allow a printing job comming from the client. You have to enter an entry in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (see "man cupsd.conf") In my cupsd.conf, in line 652 there is: Allow From 127.0.0.1 under this line, add: Allow From <ip_adress_of_client> > If this is the wrong newsgroup to ask this > type of questions.

Well, your question is not really ppc-specific but more debian-newbie specific, but I do not think that anyone will be angry here because of your mail, we are all kind people here ;-) Good luck raph <---------> Unix IS user-friendly.
