Printer Trouble



Hi guys,

Where can I find some docs on how to install a printer on Debian (woody)?  I just picked up a Lexmark Optra E312, plugged it in, booted up, and it naturally did not work.  A couple things to share...

As a users I typed: cat <file> > /dev/lp1 and received a permission denied message.  So I tried it as root and was told: /dev/lp1: No such device.  Uh oh...I have the magicfilter package and lpr installed.  

Can anyone help with this?

Bill
