lp -d printer filename.xxx says:

lp: unable to print file 'printers.conf' - error code 0.


I'm using potato Debian 2.2 with Epson Sylus Color 400.

Help!

Or if you know another way to print - besides lpr or cups - let me know. Thanks.

If you have a printer setup and you know its name try this:

lpr -P printername

for example:
You want to print a file called text to printer HP you would type the following on the command line:

cat text|lpr -P HP

That would read the file text, and redirect the output to the line printer HP.

This is what I use and it works most of the time :) I do have some problems printing from Mozilla.

Hell, youngun'. Do a web search for Linux print utilities. There are several out there, free for the taking. Cups, Turboprint, and others. Check them out; give the a try. Find the one that's right for you.
