Hi,

Recent upgrade of "cups-pdf" package brings my lenny to the following
stage:

ii cups Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
ii cups-client Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client programs (SysV)
ii cups-common Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - common files
ii cups-pdf PDF printer for CUPS
rc cupsys Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
rc cupsys-bsd Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD commands
ii cupsys-client Common UNIX Printing System (transitional package)
rc cupsys-driver-gutenprint printer drivers for CUPS
ii gutenprint-doc users' guide for Gutenprint and CUPS

As you can see, I used to use cupsys-bsd, cupsys-driver-gutenprint and
cups-pdf together. Now I don't have cupsys, cupsys-bsd,
cupsys-driver-gutenprint any more and I have both cups-client &
cupsys-client.

How do I get myself out these chaos now?

Thanks

cupsys-* has been renamed to cups-*. No need to panic.

Thanks.

I've just upgrade all my cupsys-* to cups-*. They are all the latest
versions in lenny. However, I can't find the "Add Printer" button any more
on its web page (http://localhost:631/admin). Here is the screen shot:
http://s4. tinypic .com/n68fmo.jpg (without space)

That's different from what I used to see and the online doc too.

Failing this route, I installed foomatic-gui and added my printer there.
Here is the screen shot:
http://i37. tinypic .com/2d9y07o.jpg (without space)

However, the cups web page, http://localhost:631/admin , still doesn't
show the printer. Moreover, command line printing tools show no printer
either:

$ lpc status; lpq -a
no entries


So, how should I add my printer?

Thanks

PS.

That totally defeats the purpose of having hyperlinks.
