parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport0: irq 7 detected
parport0: faking semi-colon
parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 710C
lp0: using parport0 (polling).
Hi,
this is copy pasted out of my dmesg. I have this problem with cups, I emerged all of this: emerge -k cups cups libgnomecups cups-pdf gnome-cups-manager.
All emerged fine, but when trying to launch gnome-cups manager, I get this strange error :
root@avalon linux # gnome-cups-manager
(gnome-cups-manager:26828): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
root@avalon linux #
And I get a pop-up the cups server could not be contacted.
Any idea what I am doing wrong and is there any manual to install cups or so, I looked into the faq questions and other docs, but it is not there 
The other problem I am having is that in vmware, when I specify the lpt port needs to be /dev/parport0, he says I don't have access to it, is this the same prob?
If you can help me out, that would be very friendly thanks. |

Sounds like you emerged everyting but is cups even running?
| Code: |
zippy root # ps -ef | grep cups
root 3109 1 0 00:02 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd
|
If not .... run:
/etc/init.d/cupsd start
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:631 and configure your printer via the built-in web interface.
Once all the above are OK, start cups on bootup:
rc-update add cupsd default
As far as your VMWare problem ..... I can't answer that one. |

|

Not sure what you mean by pressing print.... but here are some other things to look for.
Open a terminal window and type lpstat -t
Example:
| Code: |
zippy root # lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: LBP430
device for LBP430: socket://jetdirect:9100/
LBP430 accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00
printer LBP430 is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
|
... also open a browser and go here http://localhost:631/printers and make sure it looks ok.
Both of these _should_ confirm if your printer is configured properly....
In your terminal window type the below:
# cat /etc/hosts | lpr
If nothing comes out check your printer and also look under /var/log/cups for error_log and access_log to see what is going on. |
