hm, i just deleted the printer in the printer settings and now i cannot get my computer to recognize it again. before it had been recognized as soon as i plugged it in :/
i already read this tutorial:
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/control-printers-in-linux-from-the-command-line/5055067and would like to try
- Code: Select all
lpadmin -p laserjet1100 -m laserjet.ppd -v ? -D "HP LaserJet 1100" -L "HPLJ1100"
The options used here include:
-p laserjetV - the name of the new printer
-m laserjet.ppd - the specification of the Postscript Printer Description file so CUPS knows how to speak to the printer
-v parallel - specifies the device to be used for the printer
-D "HP LaserJet V" - a textual description of the printer
-L "Office 502" - a textual description of the location of the printer
but i do not know how to specify the device to be used for the printer :/

is it possible that the parallel to usb-adapter is there listed somewhere so that i can use it somehow in the comment lpadmin?
lpinfo -v gives me:
