12 Richard, I'm sorry it seems I've really wasted lots of your time here.
13 However I don't think this is the only problem. I really hope there
14 is not some other moronic user miconfig...
15
16 It's really a kick in the pants that my very first post on this thread
17 Showed that stupid typo... I never would have seen it I guess, if you
18 had not. But it was there in my very first post... looking back it
19 appears glaringly right their in my posted `printers.conf'.
20
21 It seems bad to me that something in cups error output did not point
22 to that misconstrued URL. In fact, going further... I see literally
23 thousands of lines appear in error_log (in debug mode) that are not
24 error lines at all. Then the actual error lines are nearly useless
25 in tracking down a problem.
26
27 I'm still unable to print (EVEN WITH THAT CURSED URL FIXED).
28
29 It may be too much to expect you to still hang in there with this
30 problem so please tell me you've had enough if that is the case.
31
32 If you are still willing... (and I cannot guarantee there is not some
33 other horribly stupid user error) what can I post that will help diagnose
34 this inability to print?
35
36 I've posted below error_log excerpt, /tmp file content.
37 smbclient connection to chub-print (at the very end)
38
39 Why doesn't cups debug output give us some better diagnostic
40 information?
41
42 Can you see some other really stupid typo or something else in this
43 output?
44
45 Actual error lines from /var/log/cups/error_log:
