I've done some reading and research on printing in R8 and Debian in general, and have likely missed what I need to do. However, I've spent enough time that at this point I'm open to suggestions. I'm running Microwatt.
I've added additional software via the menu, and added printing capability, however I can't reach the cups server via the web browser (using
http://localhost:631/admin). I get "server refused the connection".
When I try to install cups via aptitude, it installs some parts, but leaves out wide swaths. Specifically:

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
----
I've accepted the solution to this point, but then when I try to confirm that cups is running:
~$ /etc/init.d/cups start
bash: /etc/init.d/cups: No such file or directory
and of course, the web browser connection still doesn't work either. Not seeing any way thru the GUI to get to this, so am reaching out to the community here. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help.
