In my case that means typing: lpr -PPhotoshop7760 I have tried to figure a way of configuring the printer to load automatically by modifying the advanced options, but so far, no luck. The printer is installed via CUPS, and seems to be functioning perfectly. If anyone has been able to modify the options configuration setup to make printing easier I would love to see how you did it.
