Problem in installing printer

Hi folks,

I have problem in setup HP Deskjet 5740 USB printer.

Printer Setup
===========

1)
“K” -> Settings -> Printing Manager
to start “Configure – Printing Manager”
Add ->

to start “Add Printer Wizard” -> Next ->
Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: connection refused.

2)
Start Konsole Window
knoppix@2[knoppix]$ su [Enter]
root@2[knoppix]# kcmshell printmgr

to start “Configure - Printer Manager” window
Add -> Add Printer/Class fade out

Please advise how to setup the printer. TIA

B.R.

Well, many thanks! That su command works for me. Up till now I had no way of using my printers (in v. 3.9). Am I going to have to do this each time I boot into Knoppix? It is quite tedious to set up the three printers. (The printers are not listed when I run lspci -v ). Will the operating system know what to do with a configuration obtained from a save to a floppy, when the cups business is not running?

In LiveCD mode, the printer settings are saved in the configuration file - set up printer, save configuration,
use knoppix myconfig=scan in the boot sequence. CUPS will start and your printer should be available.
