help with print system
Posted: Tue Mar 19, 2013 4:30 pm
I knew it was too good to be true...
I've been really enjoying this latest version of LMDE MATE 64bit on my laptop, until today.
I had to (for the first time) print a document and when I clicked on "print" I realized that I forgot to set up a printer, no biggie, right? Wrong...
I first realized there was a problem when I went to look for the printer system settings and realized that there was nothing installed to even allow me to set up a printer.
I installed System-config-printer and that gave me the gui to install a printer. However the fun was just beginning... I have tried to install my printers a thousand different ways and I have had no luck. I've also tried a couple of different printers with no luck. It will let me discover and install them but when I try to print noting happens.
Can someone PLEASE give me a step by step on how to correct this and install my HP DeskJet 6988 printer? Thank you...
