Anne, Thnks.
You say you can get the cups page at localhost:631. Does that find your printer(s)? How and where are they connected?
It does not find any printer since I did not yet add printers; this is a new computer with a fresh install.However, I do prefer adding by kprinter thab by cups; and I did it more than once on other computers in the past. And the printer attached is not a local printer , but a printer attached to the local network which has an IP of itself.
OK. I installed a networked printer with its own IP yesterday, doing it from the CUPS interface, and had no problems. Although I use kprinter a lot, I've never used it to install a printer.
Are you sure that the original error was not just saying that the printer list doesn't yet exist?
