-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just installed fc6 on my p3 multi-boot desktop. [first time with fedora since fc2] I selected kde instead of gnome during the text mode install. Which appeared to install cleanly. I was pleasantly surprised that it started in runlevel 3. startx fires up kde nicely btw. The next thing I did was to install a few personal MUST-HAVEs (mc, vim, & pine (from livna). Then I tried to install my new hp D4160 printer. Which btw was the prime reason I bothered to replace an old mdk installation with the current core release. My older linux(s) didn't have the D4100 series cups driver. I don't want to only be able to print from my laptop or windows... Anyway I haven't set up my normal user accounts yet, That happens as soon as I get the printer working. So I did startx as root. then found the printer menu choice, I think it was: kmenu->settings?->printer the print manager opened and promptly gave me the following error message(s): Error Unable to retrieve the printer list. connection to cups server failed check that CUPS is installed and running IPP request failed for unknown reason During the boot (vga=normal) I saw the cups server being started. It got an [OK]... So I tried to add printer class anyway. When I selected local printer it saw the usb port connected device, which like the kubuntu and sayon linuxss on my laptop was reported as a D4100. But when I finished the install dialog it said it couldn't install. so I did a yum install cups which offered an update. But the results were the same... Anybody got a clue what went wrong??? ############################################################# ##_if_you'd_prefer_an_clearsigned_".asc"_text_file_of_this_## ##message_as_an_mime_encoded_attachment,just_ask_me_while__## ##it's_STILL_IN_my_outbox_folder_._._._=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+;-)_## #gpg sig for: Joe (theWordy) Philbrook DSA key ID 0x6C2163DE# # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGI7DdRZ/61mwhY94RAsbeAJ0RLmZB1qmE9ShSJkCytcdsKcNwcwCfZ5M9 st/xoLhIIt5m093V6O/xsoo= =qwMm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <?> <?> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>>
