[gentoo-user] Finally, the bell rings.

[contiemilio]

Hi all
to-day I re-compiled the kernel to enable PCSPKR and USB printer.
1 - the system bell works but as root only. Likely a matter of permissions, 
but I do not know where to look for;

2 - the printer is correctly detected, but when I try to set it up using cups 
I see no printer modules. The foomaticdb is installed, but the list of 
printers all have .xml extension.

Bye
emilio

P.S. I am coming from a SuSE distro and there all the printer modules are 
listed in cups.

Then emerge hplip and they you need to start hplip and cups.

sudo /etc/init.d/hplip start
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsd start

sudo rc-update add hplip default
sudo rc-update add cupsd default

Now you should be able to go to:

http://localhost:631/

I thought you had to have ppds use flage in /etc/make.conf in order for
the ppd files to be generated (compiled?) No?

That was the question! Should I?
And after?

After emerging hplip you will notice info re: ppds. If I'm not mistaken,
emerging hplip without the "ppds" USE flag will not create the ppd files
needed. Once you emerge hplip with the ppds USE flag the ppd files will
be created. Then when you go to set-up your printer in CUPS, your
printer will be listed. I'm not sure if PSC 1410 is listed, checking
hp.com I noticed that the driver file (winxp) for PSC 1410 and 1510 is
the same file. If 1410 isn't listed try the 1510.

I looked in mine and it goes from 1310 to 1600.  You can dig around on
either the HP site or Cups site and get the exact one or one that is
really close.  It will tell you where to put it to so it will show up. 
I had to do that with my HP DeskJet 3820 at first.  It's just a text
file that gives cups all the options for the printer.

Oh, in my USE line I have hpijs and ppds.  I think that is all I changed
on mine.  If you change yours, do a emerge -Nvp world to recompile with
those options.

Hope that helps.  If you need me to I may can dig around and find that
file for you.

Hi Jim
I have already done what you suggested. 
When I try to set up my printer using cups I do not find any driver (here is 
the problem).

gentoo-wiki.com has the best/updated guide on the subject. That is what
I would follow - just a thought.

Also check www.linuxprinting.org, a lot of printers have detailed
instructions on which driver/ppd/whatever you need and where to get it
