cannot install task-printing

Postby wsams » May 8th, '11, 16:35

When I try and install a printer, the task-printing bundle is called to be installed. I get an error saying that retrieving failed

"
Errors:
...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 3
problem reading synthesis file of medium "Core Release"
...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 3
problem reading synthesis file of medium "Core 32bit Release"
"

I went ahead and told it to continue, but each time I try and install a printer I get the same activity and response

I did a new install of mageia beta with the 64 bit architecture, prior to installing a printer, I updated the repositories and updated the entire os


When I try and install a specific driver that is a part of the task package, I get the following
"
[root@localhost ~]# urpmi hplip-hpijs-3.11.3a-2.mga1.x86_64.rpm
unable to access rpm file [hplip-hpijs-3.11.3a-2.mga1.x86_64.rpm]
error registering local packages
"
Can some get me on track to correcting this issue?

thank you

Earlier messages concerning error ...retrieving failed: aria2 failed... were solved by changing repositories.
