The guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml tells you to do the following: foomatic-configure -s cups -p $printer_model_number -c $print_device_path -n queue name -d driver Doing so, will always fail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do what the guide tells you to do Actual Results: Get annoyed, it will not work. Expected Results: Worked A google search revealed that after the -c parameter, if you point to a file (and not, for instance, a URL?), you should use file:FILENAME and not just FILENAME (as the example suggests - "device path" - a path does not, for the best of my knowledge, include "file:" in the begining, a path begins with a / in *nix). The page that helped me "find the light" and solve the problem: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/18/2003/02/4/40707 (and of course thanks to google who leaded me into there!)
Thanks. Fixed in CVS.
