On vista, it pops up a dialog saying a test page has been sent. I don't see |
| 27 |
any |
| 28 |
queued jobs for this. |

On cups/gentoo, there's no sign of activity. The logs don't add a single |
| 31 |
line, even with logging set to "debug". |

Right now I'm trying to clean up the configuration. The logs for startup |
| 34 |
show some problems with ports which I'm having some trouble deciphering. I |
| 35 |
only get a few minutes per day to work on this, so it goes slowly. |
