SOLVED How to print?

[cfatls]

I completely new at this linux thing and have no clue what to do.
I've installed cups, tried to access the locahost:631 thing, but the browser says the page can not be found.

Bear with me, I'm a total newbie.

I've tried following the steps suggested on the cups site, but one can only get so far if the browser can connect. It can browse other pages just fine. I'm writing this from seamonkey!


Thanks in advance.

Double-check that the cups extension and its deps are all loaded, then from the cups info file:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/cups [start|stop|restart|status]
the root password needs to be set perform admin tasks with..
..the browser interface
http://localhost:631 will start the browser interface
To persist across boots, add the following to your backup:
/usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/HP_OfficeJet_G85.ppd [for example]
/usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf
/usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf (only if you changed it)
