How to configure CUPS

lazyboy0001

Hi, all, I want to configure my printer connected directly to the
parallel port using CUPS. However, 'lpinfo -v'
didn't show 'direct parallel:/dev/lp0' as CUPS manual said.
What's wrong and what can I do? Thx.

Thanks, but I am not using redhat. It is slackware 10

用root身份，运行 /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start ，即可启动cups打印服务。用浏览器访问 http://localhost:631/ 即可对cups和打印机进行设置，详情请看cups的文档。

Thanks, all. I solved the problem. By default, Slackware 10.0
doesn't probe the parallel port. To solve it, we just need to
uncomment the parallel port and printer probing section in
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules. Thanks aaccdd, your link show me a good
reference in learning linux.

One more thing to be noticed about CUPS printing in Slackware Linux.
Since LPrng is the default printer service in it, the printing
commands lp, lpr, lprm lpq etc. should be checked if the LPrng is
installed other than CUPS. They should be linked to lp-cups, lpr-cups,
lprm-cups, lpq-cups etc.. After configuring the CUPS service, if only
test page printed well, the links will need reset in most of the cases.

最简单的是先removepkg lprng，再 installpkg cups，这样就能自动解决符号链接的问题了。
