Hi,

I'm trying to install my HP printer with cups on my sarge box.
As mentioned in the documentation I use the command
'/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LaserJet6L -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -m
 /usr/share/cups/model/HP-LaserJet_6L-hpijs.ppd' and get
the message:
"lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible"

The ppd file exists in the mentioned directory. I suppose that my
parallel port doesn't work properly. How can I check it?
Or is something else wrong with cups?

Thank you.

Chris
