<Fixed>Printer Not Seen

[Ray2047]

New KDE install. Printer was previously working. All Cups and Foomatic seem to be installed. When I went to PCC I got no printer installed When I tried to go to Cups I got:

The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:631.

Printer connection is Parallel. Printer is Samsung ML-2571-N

Going to terminal I get "lpstat: No destinations added". Does that mean nothing seen on LP0?

Just a thought. In PCC > Security > Set up your personal firewall, is CUPS server checked?

[Ray2047]

No firewall. Turns out Cups wasn't running but that didn't solve it. See my edited post above.

OK I checked the printer using a Remaster. It was seen in PCC and printed just fine so it must be something in the setup of this install.

[Ray2047]

Never could get PCC to set it up but was able to in Cups. Also Cups seems not to be starting on boot though I have it checked in PCC. I haven't really tried the last though more then a couple of times.

Ha ha, I was trying out the latest "test" iso, and it couldn't find my printer. Thing is I had installed it before on the same iso, then re-installed to test something else. After several minutes scratching my head, I checked for my scanner, as it's on the same external hub (the back of my computer has 6 sockets for 7 devices ) and it wasn't there either. I unplugged the hub, then plugged it in again.

You can guess the rest.....

Yes it saw the printer...
It's sometimes like a old tv.. sometimes the colours not right.. you hit it and it jumps back on good colours...
