Hi rodelbanez.

I discovered that I opened a new thread with the same problem on sundey 4 december 2016 (title:PoL Office2007 doesn't see any printer). I have Linux Mint 18 installed (derived by Ubuntu 16.04).

Nobody replied to me so far and I guess nobody replied to you.

Have you solved in the mean time your (and my) problem?  Any advise would be appreciated.

Hello dears,

I have been this problem, and installled lpr packages to solve this. See in the directory /etc/printcap, if there is this file, after install package. I hope that this help you to solve your problem. My system is: mint mate 64 on core i5 laptop, and I installed the libcups-pdf too, and cups packages in general.

Because I am from Brazil, I take sorry about my english, :-).... so long everybody!

Hi, guys!

I've tryed to follow Kaleo's suggestion and scr***wd my linux... It did not fix, mess it all and was hell to get rid of the modifications.

After researching printing files structure etc, I've found an better solution! It seems that some distro doesn't point to the right printcap file.. So, tha's what I did:

First, make sure you have CUPS installed:

     sudo apt-get install cups cups-pdf

then, if you have it, backup original printcap

     sudo mv  /etc/printcap /etc/printcap.bkp

now create a symlink to the CUPS' printcap. In my case it was at /var/run/cups/
     ln -s /var/run/cups/printcap /etc/printcap

Hope it fix things to you guys
 

i had the same problem here, did u find some fix for this?

i'll apreciate any suggestion.

 

Thanks
