Hello,
I am trying to install a printer (HP deskjet 510) on an old
machine. I have removed a lot of packages here, especially much of the
networking. 'echo hallo >/dev/lp1' as root works. I installed the lprng
package. 'echo hallo | lpr' gave some confusing error messages (sorry, don't
remember), one of which concerned /etc/service, which didn't exist. I grepped
the contents file and installed the netbase package, which provided this file.
Now 'echo hallo | lpr' gives a 'network unreachable' error. What package should
I reinstall? Or is there an other solution to get it working? I want,
eventually, to print ghostscript files, and possible process text with (La)TeX.
(but hd space is getting low... 30mb now)
