Re: how to install a printer in FC4 CLI only

Ok, thanks Tim, I thought they had moved it or something.  I deleted my printer info and saved/exited, and recreated it as well as the queue. 

Then I got

There was a problem sending CUPS test page
to 'printer1' queue:

lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable

So I went into services and started and stopped CUPS.  Now it prints ok.  I am just wondering if my selinux had the service disabled.  I am running only targeted policy and have it set to warn only, not block everything, so I may be offbase in my reasoning but I thought I would throw it open to the court.  Has anyone else run into any other problems with this and is is specific to Fedora Core 4? 

Also one more question - I noticed it gave me the ! symbol and warning when adding a service in the gui ('services')?  It didn't let me add what I tried (lpr) and I am curious about that.  I know CUPS more or less replaced line printing but I would've thought that the daemon would still be around if we wanted it.   Comments welcome.


Thanks
Marc

I'm actually interested in an answer to the original question for a
slightly different reason.  I have a setup to automatically configure
more or less identical workstations here, namely by installing FC4
followed by running a shell script via something like

links -source http://myhost/prepare.sh | sh

per the "Automating Unix and Linux System Adminstration" book.  However,
I have been unable to figure out how to do a non-interactive
command-line setup of a CUPS printer.  Any ideas?
