would yours be that you do not print with mentioned system, or that
you want to
print with different program?
Hi G,
neither! I had been trying a) to get my Epson all-in-one to work as per
book & b) trying to get a pdf printer installed.
Neither seemed(!) to be successful, then the next reboot stalled in
CUPS, so I thought remove CUPS & reinstall to see if it had got its
knickers in a knot .....
I'd had a similar experience on my first install of F9, when I thought I
could remove all the dial-up options (I use either an Ethernet
connection or a wireless from my laptop) & yum quite cheerfully took out
Network Manager & left me without a connection....
To my simple brain(!) it would seem the definition of "dependency" is
not clean. I would have thought that a dependency is something which
must be present for something to function; whereas a relationship
Master-servant would mean that in something like CUPS-Firefox, FF is
the Master & CUPS the servant providing a service. One should be able
to remove either the Master or the Servant without destroying the other,
just making sure the connections are tidied up....
Cheers
Dave
