4 When I initially installed Gentoo, I also set up my printer using the CUPS
5 driver and it worked perfectly. Now yesterday (since then I made a lot of
6 package updates of course) I wanted to use my printer and had to see it was
7 no longer recognized by cups. lpinfo -v didn't even see my /dev/usb/lp0
8 although it was there and had read/write permissions, etc.
9
10 I then removed all of cups and reinstalled, same problem. I was then finally
11 able to pin that error down to the fact that I had my /etc/hosts file not set
12 up like expected by cups and/or PAM. After changing it back to 127.0.0.1
13 localhost, I was finally able to readd my printer to the list, set it up,
14 etc. However only using the KDE Print Center. Using the web interface, I got
15 a Request Entity Too Large error message by the cups web server.
16
17 Ok, so now I got the printer set up and recognized again, yet it still doesn't
18 print. If I try to print a test page from the KDE Print Center, I get a
19 "server-error-service-unavailable" error message, if I try to print a test
20 page from the web interface, I get a "client-error-gone" error message.
21
22 This starts ticking me off, as I can't find any valid reason why it does that.
23 I guess it has somehow been broken either by the latest cups ebuild (r4, i
24 know it worked under r3) or by the recent PAM updates.
25
26 I'll be thankful for any ideas or suggestions.
