Re: failure to print

[Francesco Pietra <frapietra@alice.it>]

hi roger
i must be more confused than usual with printing (i use a pc with everything 
inside);

francesco@debian:~$ lpstat -pc60
lpstat: Unknown destination "c60"!
francesco@debian:~$ su
Password:
debian:/home/francesco# exit
exit
francesco@debian:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/cupsaccept c60

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.
