I just setup my HP deskjet with CUPS from woody. Read
/usr/share/doc/cupsys/README.txt.gz
All I did was run the lpadmin cmd as root. In your case try:
/usr/lib/lpadmin -p StColor -m stcolor.ppd -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E
This sets up the printer on the first parallel port(lp0) uses the EPSON Stylus
Color driver which comes with CUPS and gives the printer the name StColor.
I also added my normal user account to the lpadmin group which might be a
security hole. You can then administer the printer using a browser by:
http://localhost:631/
Now I have a question, a stupid one of course. When I use the CUPS web
interface the first page is displayed OK as http://localhost:631/. If I click
on any of the links then the browser tries to load the page by substituting my
hostname(cumulus) for localhost. This workstation is behind a firewall so it
doesn't have a true domain.
/etc/hosts is:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.3 cumulus
/etc/hostname is:
cumulus
192.168.1.3 is the NIC's static IP.
Is the web browser pulling 'cumulus' from /etc/hostname?
How do I tell it that 192.168.1.3 and 127.0.0.1 are the same machine? Am I
misunderstanding or are *nix hostname really hostnames per IP?
