Hi,

Running Slack 9.1 kernels 2.4.25 and 2.6.6. I updated
everything with swaret over the weekend and lost the printer
driver for the LJ5N printer. I was using apsfilter and the
system was running just fine. The /var/adm/removed_packages
showed that apsfilter was removed but it is still standing in
the directory. Been running Slack since 94 and setting up
a printer has always been hard for me.
Also, I noticed the lpr command gives the error:
lpr: error -scheduler not responding.
Do I have to use another printer protocol and where to go
to get the information to set it up?

Best regards,
Kurt Savegnago

Hi,

Cancel this. I just started rc.cups and did a printer
setup under KDE 3.2.2 and everything works again!
