Re: Installing Debian
Hi,
First of all, this was newbie question of potato install. printtool
is not in current released version of potato. (Yes, it was dropped)
Thus it is not fit to recommend it to newbie user.
Please understand this situation.
I understand printtool in woody can be used on debian system with lprng.
(Some bug report mention permission problem though)
I got printtool to work with lpr by modifying printtool so have
not tried lprng. Major problem occured because current BSD lpd
does not set CONTROL environment parameter.
Regards,
Osamu
