CUPS - really did it now
OK, I'm rather more confused than I was two days ago when I had some of CUPS
working.
I have a server that seems to be working just fine. Haven't changed anything
there.
But now my client is really messed up and I'm rather confused about it.
I removed the package lpd. Now I can't print to cups. Before this, and
currently, I have cupsys-bsd installed, but no information on how it's
supposed to work. /usr/share/doc/cupsys-bsd is a little sparse.
It would seem that I might need to reinstall lpd. no... Then cupsys-client
and cupsys-bsd get listed for removal and I really don't want that.
So I thought maybe there was something in the /etc/printcap file that might
be of some significance. I had a remote printer defined from way back
(years) and it was pointed to an IP address that was no longer in use. So I
don't think there is much there.
my line printer doesn't work.
I don't think Open Office does either, but right now I can't even get it to
load...
...
I reconfigured (dpkg-reconfigure cupsys-bsd) and set the option to Yes.
Still nothing going on.
