Hi all,
My printer is not present on system-config-printer list, than, I would to install a ppd file on my centos 4.4...
But i don't know how do it....
Please.... help me :)
Centos 4 install printer driver from ppd file
Centos 4 install printer driver from ppd file
In system-config-printer, try selecting some model and then enter the ppd file name by going to Action -> Import PPD.
It is probably easier if you use cups web interface. There you can specify the ppd file. Also you can manually edit/add ppd files in the /etc/cups/ppd/ directory.

Re: Centos 4 install printer driver from ppd file
I haven't a C4 install anymore, but IIRC, the I was using the same lpadmin command with custom PPD files like:
[code]lpadmin -p PRITERNAME -m PPDFILE -v lpd://NAMEorIP/raw1 -D "Some description of printer" -L "Some location" -o printer-error-policy=retry-job -E[/code]
The "-o" options are just my addons. I HATE the fact that a queue will not retry a printer by default.

I'm using centos 4, too. Did you click on "Action"? Maybe you need to set up a printer to see it?
If this is not working try the lpadmin command offered by [b]pjwelsh[/b]. The command should work in CentOS-4 although it was a long time ago that I used it ...
