Dustpuppy Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) I've got an Epson Stylus C44UX printer connected to desktop 1. I set it up during installation and it worked OK most of the time and there was no problem with sharing printing with other computers. However, whenever I try to go into printerdrake it causes a complete system crash at "searching for new printer" and the only thing to do is a hard restart. Then the printer started printing some things out twice (but not everything). I tried updating to the latest kernel and re-installing cups, but the only outcome is that printer sharing is now disabled (ie other computers can't see the printer). Any thoughts about getting into printerdrake? Edited February 2, 2006 by Dustpuppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I use the CUPS setup. Go into a browser and enter "localhost:631" in the address bar. You will be asked for a user and password; use root. The setup is very intuitive. Re-setup your printer this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 And this also proves that the problem is printerdrake! Sometimes the Mandriva tools don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
