I normally run XFCE with this FC-5 computer. I have
found it impossible to configure my printers
directly from the selection provided with the cups
set up function. I have two very common printers,
an HP6840 wireless and an Epson Stylus C62 connected
to LPT1.
I have discovered after seeing something on this
list that I can use KDE to set up my printers, the
difference being that it provides a very extensive
list of printer model numbers including both the
printers I am using. And in each case, when I
finally got around to switching to KDE I have been
able to restore my printers to operation. Gnome
might accomplish the same thing but I rarely use
either one and have not tried it. So I guess my
question is why doesn't CUPS Admin. provide the same
driver list? This seems to be a problem manifest
only in the last couple of months ... In the past
I've been able to set up with CUPS alone.
