arlen Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Mdk 10 won't print to my Lexmark X73 printer. It recognizes it, claims to be installing the drivers for it, but when it tries to print a test page, nothing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlen Posted July 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Ooops. Turns out MCC was just too stupid to configure the printer properly, even if it could find and recognize it. I bypassed MCC and went straight to CUPS (http://localhost:631/admin) and fixed that, and now everything's fine. Lesson learned: MCC is like a trade show Booth Babe (or Booth Beef, depending upon your preference). Easy on the eyes and nice to have around, but not to be counted on to get the technical details right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbob Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 :D I have to agree, when MCC works as designed it is superlative, but when it fails it does so in a very Hindenbergh like manner. It doesn't take long to train users to just start skipping MCC and going to more "traditional" tools. Perhaps this is the clandestine plan of the Mandrake team???
