Printers on Crunchbang Lite ?

Hello,
I've installed Crunchbang Lite for 6 months on my laptop and now i'd like to use my printer on it.
My printer is linked to my iMac running Mac OS X 10.4, and all printers sharing options are on. (i can print on my printer on my other laptop running Vista...).
Typing http://the.imac.ip:631/printers in Firefox, I see my printer, and typing http://myip:631/, I see it too. I can print, from this page, a Cups print-test. It works.
But, from any other software, I don't see my printer. Nothin but "Print to file", which isn't what I want.
So, how can i do ?

Hey ! I'm French, so if I make English mistakes, i'd be happy if you note it to me. (for example, i'm not sure of this sentence's grammar... )

Hi,

I had similar problems with printers on #! lite but after installing the gnome-cups-manager and reconfiguring my printer through the GUI rather than command line, it all seemed to work (except Adobe Acrobat 8.... but thats why I use evince!)

Hope this is of some help

Go to /etc/cups/ssl and delete the two symlinks inside. Then run this command:

sudo /etc/init.d/cups start

Finally go to Menu > System > Printer Settings and make sure your printer is installed.

Go to /etc/cups/ssl and delete the two symlinks inside.

Thank for this tip - it helped me also.  However, I like to know what I am doing.
I noted in /etc/cups/ssl are two link files, server.crt and server.key.  What do these files do and why should one get them "out of the way"?

Re: Printers on Crunchbang Lite ?

iirc, those two symlinks are invalid and thus why you want to delete them.

Another way to fix the certificate problem is to run these commands in a terminal

cd /etc/ssl/certs/
sudo make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil 

or this command is reported to work as well

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ssl-cert
