Hi, I'm trying to make my server box function as a print server for a
USB printer (HP PSC 1310 - known to work with desktop Ubuntu). I'm
having a hard time wrapping my head around how to set it up though. I
have cups installed, and am trying to configure the printer with the
printconf utility. I am getting the following in response to 'sudo
dpkg-reconfigure printconf':
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08179528 ***
Unable to read printer database. Please ensure the "foomatic-db"
package is installed properly.
The package mentioned is installed just fine. Additionally, I have
confirmed that the ppd file exists, at
/usr/share/cups/model/hpijs/HP/HP-PSC_1310-hpijs.ppd.
I basically just need to replicate whatever the Gnome Add Printer
dialogue does, since that works perfectly with this printer. Any help
managing that on cli appreciated!
