    Dear friends:

    I've spent the past hour searching in Google for articles that will
    explain to me how to install my printer in Debian 3.1. I'm literally 99%
    of the way there.

    First, I found out that Debian 3.1 does not include the CUPS server by
    default. So, I downloaded that via Synaptic. Then I downloaded hp-ppd
    (for my Okipage 14e, which uses HP Laserjet 4 emulation). Then, I found
    out that I need the gimp-print foomatic files, so I downloaded them as
    well as other gimp files dependent on them. I then went logged out and
    logged back in as root and configured the printer in Kprinter (KDE
    Control Center, Peripherals). Configuration was a total success, and at
    the end of it all I saw my Okipage printer listed at the top of the
    printers. So what's wrong? Well, when I tried to print a test page, it
    said: "print test successflly sent to the printer", but so far no actual
    printing. My guess is that I am just one step away from actually
    printing, but I am at a loss as to what is holding things up.

    Would appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

    Thank you.

    Benjamin
