I cannot print from some applications, namely xpdf and
evince. I am trying to print pdf's from these as
printing in adobe reader 7 is disabled. I have cups
installed and running and I can
print from firefox and openoffice.org.
In both xpdf and evince, the print dialog gives me a
prompt for a printing command, not a printer to
choose. This is a brother laser which is supported.
This is a usb printer, lpstat shows:
lpstat -p -d
printer Brother_Laser is idle. enabled since Jan 01
00:00
system default destination: Brother_Laser
/var/log/messages shows:
Oct 6 08:45:56 enterprise lpd[11501]: /dev/lp: No
such file or directory
anything I can do to get printing in these apps to
work?
