    1813
    19 What to test: [[br]]
    20 * Start the daemon (ie \cups\sbin\cupsd.exe - no command line parameters required)
    21

    26 
    27 * Verify printer has been added by loading the web interface in a browser with http://localhost:631 - look at the Printers button to see the printer and set any options (ie paper size, etc).
    28 
    29 
    30 * Try and print an image using:
    31          \cups\bin\lpr -P <printername> filename.jpg -o fitplot
    32 
    33 * Try and print the cups test page using:
    34          \cups\bin\lpr -P <printername> \cups\share\cups\data\testprint.ps or by using the 'Print Test Page' button in the web interface.
    35

    41 Many thanks to Bart van Leeuwen and Adrain Gschwend for providing encouragement for this project (ie nagging me on IRC!); and to Knut St Osmundsen for fixing the libc bugs that have stopped cups working reliably up until now!
