Here's my Post! Sorry, I had some trouble posting as I was sending it from a different (email) source to the one with which I was subscribed. ANYWAY... I have some serious difficulties with redhat-config-printer: see below... -----Forwarded Message----- From: Thomas Charles Robinson <robinstc@ocean.com.au> To: psyche-list@redhat.com Subject: redhat-config-printer Date: 17 Feb 2003 04:00:57 +0000 Hi, I've upgraded to Red Hat 8.0 and now I can't configure a working printer. Previously I had both a local and a samba printer working perfectly. Now when I use redhat-config-printer, the configured printer will print neither an ASCII nor a postscript test page. I can't print from the command-line either. Here are some of the packages I have installed on my system: ghostscript-7.05-20 ghostscript-fonts-5.50-7 redhat-config-printer-0.4.24-1 foomatic-1.9-1.20020617.6 Omni-foomatic-0.7.0-6 Omni-0.7.0-6 The local printer is a HP Laserjet 4. I have used the 'ljet4' driver from the database. The samba printer is a HP 2000C. The 'gs -h' command shows the 'ljet4' driver but not the 2000C. Am I missing some packages or have I got something else wrong? I'm really stuck here. Can someone tell me what other information you need to know and I will send it. Can someone please help? Thanks and regards, Tom -- Every time I think I know where it's at, they move it. -- What does it take for Americans to do great things; to go to the moon, to win wars, to dig canals linking oceans, to build railroads across a continent? In independent thought about this question, Neil Armstrong and I concluded that it takes a coincidence of four conditions, or in Neil's view, the simultaneous peaking of four of the many cycles of American life. First, a base of technology must exist from which to do the thing to be done. Second, a period of national uneasiness about America's place in the scheme of human activities must exist. Third, some catalytic event must occur that focuses the national attention upon the direction to proceed. Finally, an articulate and wise leader must sense these first three conditions and put forth with words and action the great thing to be accomplished. The motivation of young Americans to do what needs to be done flows from such a coincidence of conditions. ... The Thomas Jeffersons, The Teddy Roosevelts, The John Kennedys appear. We must begin to create the tools of leadership which they, and their young frontiersmen, will require to lead us onward and upward. -- Dr. Harrison H.
