gutenprint error[SOLVED]

Hi,

While my printer generally works, I'm having errors trying to print pictures:

GIMP (gutenprint): lp: no default destination available

GIMP (Ctrl-P): Print to File works, but printing to printer gets disabled

An attempt to print via GQview results in An error occurred printing to Default printer. Details: SIGPIPE error writing to printer

Finally, Adobe Reader has no trouble printing a pdf file, generated by GIMP

Any suggestions?

Re: gutenprint error[SOLVED]

As the error messages mention a Default destination, have you set a default destination ?
The command 'lpstat -t' will show you.

lpadmin -d <printer name>

That will set the printer as default.
