1 Yesterday, I emerged cups 1.2.1-r2. Now I cannot print at all.
2
3 I use KDE, and the configuration tools cannot make a connection.
4 Even bare-bones init stuff doesn't work right:
5 /etc/init.d/cupsd stop
6 says it stopped the server, but
7 /etc/init.d/cupsd start
8 WARNING: "cupsd" has already been started
9
10 but 'ps' show that it has NOT been started.
11
12 lpstat -t
13 shows confusing info about my printer:
14
15
16 treat init.d # lpstat -t
17 scheduler is running
18 system default destination: lp0
19 device for lp0: parallel:/dev/lp0
20 device for lp0: /dev/null
21 lp0 not accepting requests since Fri Jul 7 14:23:34 2006 -
22 Paused
23 lp0 accepting requests since Fri Jul 7 14:15:50 2006
24 printer lp0 disabled since Fri Jul 7 14:23:34 2006 -
25 Paused
26 printer lp0 is idle. enabled since Fri Jul 7 14:15:50 2006
27 lp0-2458 root 14336 Fri Jul 7 14:21:24 2006
28 lp0-2459 root 14336 Fri Jul 7 14:55:25 2006
29 treat init.d #
30
31 SO: is it enabled or not?
32
33 I guess I'll submit a bug, but I'd like to know if it's best to go
34 back to cups-1.1.23-r7,
35 which I had before, and for which I have a binary package.
