Q: Qcad printing problem - No printers listed in QCAD?

Ans :
  • Open terminal
  • sudo nano /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

  • Edit it out, and make a new line, so:
# Printcap /var/run/cups/printcap
Printcap /etc/printcap
  • If you do not find the line printcap /var/run/cups/printcap then add the line " Printcap /etc/printcap " (without quotes)
  • Save and close the editor
  • Restart cups : sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
  • Restart Qcad
