Re: Help: 3.0 to 3.1r1 upgrade, printing broken (wrong paper size?)
Here's a few addendums to my initial post:
* I don't have CUPS installed but Xprint appears to have been installed. There's an
/etc/cups/client.conf which looks like a skeleton file, nothing but comments.
* Do I *need* Xprint and/or CUPS? I was happy with lpd and don't see the benefit of a
change. We have a PostScript printer attached to the parallel port and had no problems
with lpd. Can I just purge Xprint and go back to how it was? (I'm afriad to do this
because dselect tells me that x-window-system depends on xprint)
* Here's my relevant packages:
$ dpkg -l xprt-* cups* gs-* gv gs
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

I hope someone can figure this out from my description. I'm stumped. All I want (boss says
"NEED!") to do is print out a piece of paper! I appreciate the help!
