TurboPrint & PrintFab

Installation on Ubuntu Linux works as follows:

- download the archive "turboprint-1.94-4.tgz" - please save in personal directory (/home/username)
- open a terminal window
- the command

ls turboprint-1.94-4.tgz

should list a file named "turboprint-1.94-4.tgz" - otherwise please make sure that this file is present in the current directory.

- execute the following commands (your login password will be requested):

sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2
tar -xzf turboprint-1.94-4.tgz
cd turboprint-1.94-4
sudo ./setup

- finally enter

sudo xtpsetup

to setup your printer.

- using the command

xtpconfig

you can change default configuration (print quality, etc.) of your printer or do maintenance tasks (nozzle check, head cleaning, ...)

that all worked just fine..
but, how do i print to my printer say from KWord ?

when I go to print something, there are no printers there.

thanks,

a newbie of course

KWord has the standard KDE print dialog. If a TurboPrint printer was set up (using sudo xtpsetup), it should be visible in the print dialog as printer "tp0".
