#8 Re: Question: Setting up printing in Sarge Posted by derekw (70.126.xx.xx) on Sat 8 Apr 2006 at 15:39 I installed Sarge last month and had a tough time getting printing to work. It didn't work out of the box. My printer is a Samsung ML-1210 which was perfectly happy with the previous OS, Redhat 7. Following some advice, I installed cups and managed to get printing working, but only partially. From KDE applications, it seems to be working OK. But from other apps, e.g. Adobe Reader and Mozilla, it does not. I have to print to a file and then open that file up in KGhostview to print. When I try to print from the non-KDE apps, sometimes I get an error, and sometimes nothing. Either way, the job doesn't appear to make it into the print queue. One observation that could be a clue: when I'm Adobe Reader and try to print, the printer status in the print dialog says "lqp: ml1210: unknown printer." Could the problem be that these non-KDE apps aren't aware that we're using cups and have the wrong print command configured? If so, how do I fix this? I'd like to rectify this but don't know what to do next. Any help would be appreciated.
