printer oddity [SOLVED]

[tom_d]

8.04 / 3.5.9
new drive, new install

I didn't have this problem with previous install- I even had it shared with XP machines around the house

I have an HP Laserjet4+ connected parallel
when I try to add printer (K > System Settings > Printer), the local printer > parallel interface is greyed out in the wizard- thus I can't install

oddity is I dual-boot to XP as well, and there it works finest kind

thoughts?

Open your file manager and browse to /dev/lp0 and check the permissions. If They are set to not allow anyone but root, see this post:
