I have read a few other posts on the subject. Doesn't seem too widespread but significant none the less.
OK - I'm trying to install my HP Laserjet 6L connected via parallel port. After I make my printer driver selection I get, "either printer driver does not exist or I don't have permission to install." If I continue on and find my printer listed, my printer prints out nothing but jibberish for an unknown amount of pages.
Things I've tried. I've tried rebooting the machine into single user mode (root on Kubuntu) and running there - failed. I've tried running 'systemsettings' from a konsole (sudo systemsettings) - failed. I've tried commenting out something in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (got this on a post - I forget what it was now) - failed. I have also installed the latest updates from the pool as of 04:28 CST 05-11-2006 to no avail.
I have not tried downloading Cups directly and installing as another post suggested. This might work however, this is a problem with Kubuntu (maybe Ubuntu?) and I would think we would want to fix it within the pool before final. Right?
BTW, when I run the install from konsole, I DO get a return from stdout stating that the 'HPLJ6' driver could not be found. With that, I have checked that I have all HP driver packages installed via Synaptic. Could it be that we are missing a link calling the wrong location for these drivers? Most seem to think it's a permission problem tyring to connect to cups. I would second that as I have tried to configure the printer via Cups web interface at localhost:631 and cannot seem to authenticate either as root or user.
Wadda we do?
