I have damnsmall linux installed to hd and have added several extensions and configured fluxbox to look nice. I really like what I have so far with one exception. I can not get a printer to work. I have canon bjc-1000 and bjc-2000 both work well under win95/98 I did not find either listed under aspfilters, but did try several bjc drivers with no success. I installed cups.dsl, started and opened browser and localhost:631. this gave the list of choice but clicking any opens a box asking for username and password for cups. I entered everything I could think of. I finally gave up as little time is available. can anyone offer a printer that will work or how to access cups to try? Any help to get a printer to work would be very much appreciated Thanks for an opportunity to post

Thanks for the info links. the bjc-1000 & 2000 are listed to work mostly but are suspect. guess I must look for and aquire a "perfectly" good choice. thanks again for the list of hopefulls any ideas on the password for cups issue I used root and password also dsl and password but think it should be root.

To configure cups, you must enter root for the username, and your root password. HTH, Ernie Registered Linux User 247790 ICQ 41060744
