Steps for installing an unsupported printer
Authored by: jcbeckman on Apr 12, '04 06:45:25PM

Here's the link for the jpegs:

ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz

It was listed in the seconf FAQ.

I never did find the font, but I already had them from installinf OpenOffice.

You don't need the CUPS web page to finish up (thank goodness, since mine kept saying I "wasn't authorized"). Hold down the OPTION key and hit ADD in the Print Utility and you'll get the "advanced" menus, which let you choose the printer type listed in the instructions.

Steps for installing an unsupported printer
Authored by: spadesman on Apr 13, '04 05:48:07PM
Thanks for the link. I am having trouble getting pkg-config-0.15 to make, I keep getting the following error:

make  all-recursive
Making all in glib-1.2.8
make  all-recursive
Making all in .
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=g_log_domain_glib     -g -O2 -Wall  -D_REENTRANT -c giounix.c
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=g_log_domain_glib -g -O2 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -c giounix.c -o giounix.o
giounix.c:233: only 1 arg to macro 'g_warning' (2 expected)
cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in basic mode
make[4]: *** [giounix.lo] Error 1
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
Any clue what is going on?

Rendezvous and CUPS cause auth probs
Authored by: Clewin on Aug 25, '04 12:57:21PM

There appears to be a problem with CUPS, rendezvous, and the web interface on port 631, and I'm guessing you were seeing this (I do on OS X.2, haven't tried X.3).

For instance, I type this:
http://localhost:631/admin to get to the Printer administration page. When I click on "test print" for a printer, my address magically becomes
http://Clewin's-computer.local:631/printers/lpr?op=print-test-page

If I click anywhere else, I either get a forbidden page or permission/login problem. Changing Clewin's-computer.local back to localhost in the URL works fine.
