Re: ODP: Printer configuration on debian

[Dale Morris <dlm@well.com>]

How do I configure CUPS? I'm trying to set up my printer with
magicfilter. I think there is a permission problem, but I'm not sure.
Here's where I'm at..
I can print using staroffice. I can't print using lp, I get the
following output: lp: error - no default destination available.
If I try to print using 'y' in mutt or slrn--doesn't work. Slrn returns
'error 1'.
Here's how my /etc/printcap looks:

# This file was generated by /usr/sbin/magicfilterconfig.
#
lp|lp|Epson StylusColor 600:\
  :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
  :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
  :if=/etc/magicfilter/StylusColor-600@360dpi-filter:\
  :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs

I also downloadd xpp and it installed the CUPS client and server. Yet
when I run xpp it tells me it's unable to connect to CUPS server, check
options. duh.. I'm confused
please help


thanks
