Re: Printer issue in13.04

 

Hi Jose,

By "it came with cups turned off" you mean you need to install cups or
configure it?

Because, right from Lubuntu 13.04 amd64, CUPS is indeed installed -

Honestly, I did not try to print from 13.04 but I did print from 12.04 the
other day. As far as I remember, I didn't have to install CUPS but I had to
install hplip if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks!
P.S.
Please, don't text while driving :D
