lpr ? where is lpr ?

From: Sarah Burgo <sarah.burgo(a)wanadoo.fr> Message-ID: <14910.47281.699634.401262(a)vieuxbousin.maison> Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 02:24:01 +0100 (CET) Subject: lpr ? where is lpr ? Hi, This is a newbie question, and the answer is probably very simple, but... I recently upgraded from the 6.4 to 7.0 (I made a clean install, in fact) and can't use my printer anymore. It's the same I used with the 6.4, with the same configuration. I set it up the same way, with YaST. When I try to print some file with the command line, I just get this : lpr : command not found The fact is that I've spent a few hours looking for it in all my /bin /sbin directories without finding it ; the aps package is there and the start_lpd variable is set to "yes" in my rc.config. I uninstalled some packages some days ago, but nothing essential (I think), and each time checked the dependencies... I suppose it is either a path problem or a package I should reinstall, but I searched the package database on the CDs without result. Would some kind soul be kind enough to get me out of this ridiculous situation ? Many thanks in advance. Sarah

Folks, I tried hooking my Ultra ATA-100 drives to the Promise controller on my A7V and booted up with the mentioned eide floppy. It booted up ok, but did not see my Plextor : Adaptec 2940UW (Adaptec AIC-7881U) Plextor UW CD-ROM PX-40TW This caused me to have a FTP install. Then the version of Lilo on the ftp site didn't pick up my ATA-100 drive. So I'm back with the stock setup now. Can you shed any hope Michael ?

These are marked in red, indicating recommended security fixes. But, I have no such packages on my SuSE 7.0 CD so I am not sure what I would be updating. Can anyone explain what these things are?
