How do I setup printer?
in [Debian]

From: Ninenineone Efx on 4 May 2007 22:20 It's basic thing but I don't remember how to setup printer. In general user, I can't print any paper. I tried 'lpr' command for test, it gives about permission denied error. I checked the Debian/GNU Linux System Admin's manual. The printer setup section is blank. :-( In addition, how do I install a simple X-Window manager such as fluxbox? I want to install xterm too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster(a)lists.debian.org

The lpr command is provided by different print systems (lpd, LPRng, CUPS), and each system handles permissions differently. Since my only printer is a 26 year old dot-matrix, I just just lpd.

From: Ninenineone Efx on 5 May 2007 12:50 I installed above packages by using atp-get. Did not use 'aptitue' because I got some bad experience few weeks ago. Setup Xorg, install fluxbox, setup cups. After giving the access permission to general users, I can print it. Still I need to figure out how to print ps (PostScript file). I gonna check about Linux printing Howto and ps related stuff. Thanks guys! I can surf Internet on Debian and print text file anyway. It's quite improvement. :-) 2007/5/4, Christopher Nelson <chris(a)cavein.org>: > On Fri, May 04, 2007 at 10:12:22PM -0400, Ninenineone Efx wrote: > > It's basic thing but I don't remember how to setup printer. > > In general user, I can't print any paper. > > I tried 'lpr' command for test, it gives about permission denied error. > > You seem to be suggesting root can print?
