The gentoo printing guide indicates step 1 to printing is changing the "USE" line in make.conf. The exact advice is as follows:


"add cups, foomaticdb, ppds and usb (if you are using a USB printer connection) to your existing USE var list.

USE="cups foomaticdb ppds usb other_var1 other_var2"

My current USE="tcltk -alsa"

So my knew use line should read: USE="tcltk -alsa cups foomaticdb ppds" ?

Just making sure, dont want to screw up make.conf. Oh I left out the usb variable becuase my printer is a parallel printer.

That should work. If it doesn't you'll just have to add another one and try again. To see what your current USE line really is, try[code]emerge --info[/i]

8) Post 100! :lol:

Is this emerging a program? And is [code] really the value or am I supposed to insert something more in there?

That's me not using preview.

Should read
Code:
emerge --info
which will show you what your USE line is.

Code:

workstation readline # emerge --info
