1 Hi,
2
3 on one of my identical (believed) machines,
4 hal greps the USB printer and disables CUPS.
5
6 I.e. on one machine hal-device | grep -i kyocera
7 shows that hal has grepped it.
8 On an identical machine (with a HP printer)
9 hal_device shows nothing relevant to that printer
10 and CUPS is working on that machine when printing to
11 that printer.
12
13 How can I stop hal grepping the printer or how can I
14 make hal cooperative with cups (1.4.1)
15
16 Many thanks,
17 Helmut.
