Hi,

I've just installed the cups package (along with cupsomatic and
cupsomatic-ppds) in order to deal with my new HP DJ 5550 and the new
hpijs driver.

I've browse the cupsd manpage and the cups.org documentation (rather
obscure, imho).

I've found it nowhere but i suppose i have to run the cupsd
daemon... So i do.

But then? The user documentation (<http://www.cups.org/sum.html>)
says:

/-----------------
| Use the lpstat(1) command to see a list of available printers:
| 
| lpstat -p -d ENTER
\-----------------

But when i issue this command, i get a message "no system default
destination"

When i try to connect to the cups server (http://localhost:631), i
have to enter a username and a password : i've tried root or other
account, all fail.

Is there any "handbook" or "howto" to make this thing works?

Any experience appreciated.
