I am trying to access a printer from our LAN to my FreeBSD Desktop PC
which package I needed to do that ? system-config-printer right ?
NOTE :I am not trying to attach a new printer to FreeBSD just want to acces=
s an already working printer in our LAN
I
installed system-config-printer from ports =2C but whenever I tried
to do $system-config-printer =2C one blank dialog window blinks
away =2C the in the tty I am getting this error ..
[bhagat@storm /usr/home/bhagat]$ system-config-printer
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py"=2C=

installed as I was not trying to attach a printer to this FreeBSD box) .

issue ( OR I have to install any other package than
system-config-printer ?)=20
