Re: CUPS: http://localhost:631/admin does not exist!
Thanks Patrick, I will try that in a few minutes. I have a question, in the
directory
/usr/share/cups/model/HP
there are listed sevral ppd's for HPDJ 895Cse, more exactly I have 4 of
them. I was reading in the documentation that you must pick one. The one you
mention in your command line
lpadmin is not one of these four. I think I must be missing something.
???
Thanks,
AR
