CUPS has been working flawlessly for quite some time, one of the feats |
| 2 |
of newer GNU/Linux installs (to one who couldn't get an HP mainstream |
| 3 |
inkjet working right some 10 years ago). Simultaneously, I notices |
| 4 |
that Apple now owns the copyright, and after a recent upgrade, stopped |
| 5 |
working. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I have to blame myself, because running cfg-update, the changes to |
| 8 |
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf were considerable, involving three, and not two |
| 9 |
files to be merged. The interface of xxdiff is not intuitive, to me: |
| 10 |
I've blundered through it's kludgey structure for a while, but this |
| 11 |
time I was genuinely confused. Furthermore, I made the mistake of |
| 12 |
taking a stab in the dark. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
So I uninstalled CUPS completely, and reinstalled. Then installed the |
| 15 |
printer again. It is doing the same thing: the interface at |
| 16 |
localhost:631 says that the printer is ready to print. Any job sent |
| 17 |
to the queue, including test prints, are immediately "stopped". |
| 18 |
Reprint a job, and it is immediately stopped. |

Hypotheses: |
| 21 |
New ASUS M2N-E Motherboard (was working before upgrading CUPS) |
| 22 |
Configuration file issues. (I have deleted the entire directory |
| 23 |
/etc/cups, and the new derault file was replaced with a simplified one |
| 24 |
scavenged of a mailing list, but with no improvement. |
| 25 |
Unknown factors (where to start?) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
So I am turning to the mailing list for suggestions. |

Any ideas? |

Thank you, |
