If you right right click on the upper half of the print manger, will it give you the option to add a printer? I've found that for some strange reason the option isn't in the normal place but you can get it this way. Another option is to open a web browser and type in "localhost:631" You can then configure CUPS through your browser.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for helping.
But I didjavascript:emoticon('

') something really stupid. I forgot to choose CUPS in the first menu of the printer manager. After I did that I got (right clicking) the "Add printer/class"
and it was possible to install my printers as raw printers over a network
thanks
