Hi All,

I have the above printer and am having a lot of trouble trying to get VSIDO to see it. I have tried searching but am unable to find an answer. I had this problem on Crunchbang but it was sorted out by using

Code Select


apt-get install -y cb-meta-printer-support

unfortunately it did not work here
Help required please

First do

Code Select


aptitude update
aptitude install cups cups-client

Then start the service

Code Select


sudo /etc/init.d/cups start

Open iceweasel and go to this exact url

Quote
http://localhost:631/ (http://localhost:631/)

If an error, try this

Quote
usermod -a -G lpadmin YOUR_USERNAME

Then find your printer, and install the driver :)

You are welcome :)
