I tried that as well as modifying the printers.conf file. I receive the same results -- No print output. I then figured if I can't get network printing to work (this and other problems I'm running into from a fresh install are starting to make me thing that I should just put windows back on my machine) I tried to install a usb printer - Lexmark x125, which cups had drivers for. Of course this didn't work either when I specified a local spool and the usb port (e.g. /dev/usb/lp2 -- yes, its plugged into the 3rd usb port). This is the third issue I've run into after installing Mandriva 2007.1. signed - frustrated

I have Mandriva 2007 Spring (2007.1) with all updates and I configured a VirutalBox. When I try to start the VirtualBox I get an error stating that vboxdrv cannot be found. I try starting the VirualBox Daemon (e.g. /etc/init.d/virtualbox start) and I get the same error vboxdrv cannot be found. Shouldn't this work right out of the box? I have the powerpack edition and MCC states that virtualbox rpm was installed. What gives? Thanks! [moved from Software by spinynorman]

I did try setting the printer up through CUPS web admin http://localhost:631 , and it did install the printer, but when I sent test print to it, I received the following every refresh -- printer busy, waiting 10 seconds.... and then printer busy,waiting 15 seconds. It keeps incrementing until I cancel the print job. The printer in the mean time is setting idle looking at me funny. I'll try the manual printers.conf changes and see if that helps. Thank you!

I have a Mandriva 2007.1 installation and I am currently using a SMC Barricade SMC7004AWBR wireless router with a built-in print server. Connected to the print server I have a hp laserjet 1200. Back in the day when I used to be an expert on this unix stuff (SCO -- Oh My He said SCO!) Unixware 7.0) we used to set up lpr (or LPD) printing. I've been reading information on linux-foundation.org and they say that LPD printing is outdated and to use the newer CUPS. I have a question though. All I really want to do is setup a standard TCP/IP printer port on lpt1 port 9100 using LPR protocol and IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. When I try to enter the information into CUPS, it cannot find the network printer. Here's the CUPS info: Add a new printer: [x] Enter host name/IP address of network printer Next Host/IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Protocol: TCP/Socket, jetDirect Port: 9100 Next Which printer model do you have? HP LaserJet 1200 Printerdrake installing user-supplied ppd file (I downloaded this from linux-foundation.org) Next Printer supports optional hardware Fit to Page: Prompt User Total Printer Memory: 8-15 MB Next Printerdrake <2> Failed to configure printer "HPLaserJet1200"! Any ideas?

That fixed it. Thank you!

I used a US Version of Windows XP SP2. I also used the MCC and let the system get and install all the latest updates from Mandriva that were released since 2007.1 was released. On a side note, I'm surprised how painless my SMC2632W wireless card was installed and configured. All I had to do was enter the wep encryption and I was connected to the internet. Thanks for the welcome :)

I'm having a similar problem. Last night I installed 2007.1 on my dell inspiron 9100 with a CD reader/writer/DVD/reader/writer. Before I let 2007.1 erase my hd and use it all for linux :) I backed up my data files onto DVD and CD using windows xp. I had the session closed after the burn. My issue is, I put the CD in and linux reads it fine. I put the DVD in and I get some of the folders, but instead of letters for the labels, I get boxes [ ]. This is strange. So now, in the mean time I will be transferring the files I need at work under windows xp from the dvd to a thumb drive. Anyone have a similar issue? Thanks! David.
