Start with this one, from Laurence.

I am not sure how you start services with debian, perhaps someone else could answer that, but in fedora/gnome there is a menu item under 'System Settings->Server Settings->Services' It wwould appear from this that it is the ptal system that you are missing, the HP AIW must be run using this rather than directly though the USB interface. > > & > > > > on the cups page the printer is accepting jobs and is started. > > > > On the cups page, it says "printer idle and accepting jobs." > > > there was a problem with ptal-init where it didn't like the 'LANG=' > > shell variable set to anything but 'C', but I guess you've caught that > > one! > > > I don't understand this.

httpd is NOT needed for that, the CUPS daemon is a (simple) web server
by itself, it does not need httpd, same for swap.

And never got a prompt back until I copied it with control-c. I don't know what you are referring to with "ptal option under device section in the cups web interface." I see no device section. bruce |
