Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.2-1 I was just heavily playing with the cups configuration, trying (unsuccessfully) to get it to work with hplip and hp:/ URIs.
So I backed everything out, and now find that if I try to use the "Modify Printer" option" on the web interface (https://server:631/), then as soon as I "Continue" past the initial Name/Location/Description page, cupsd stops responding and instead goes into a silly loop: select(1024, [2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 12 13 14], [12 13], NULL, {1, 0}) = 3 (in [12], out [12 13], left {1, 0}) time(NULL) = 1154568871 select(1024, [2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 12 13 14], [12 13], NULL, {1, 0}) = 3 (in [12], out [12 13], left {1, 0}) time(NULL) = 1154568871 select(1024, [2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 12 13 14], [12 13], NULL, {1, 0}) = 3 (in [12], out [12 13], left {1, 0}) time(NULL) = 1154568871 select(1024, [2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 12 13 14], [12 13], NULL, {1, 0}) = 3 (in [12], out [12 13], left {1, 0}) time(NULL) = 1154568871 select(1024, [2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 12 13 14], [12 13], NULL, {1, 0}) = 3 (in [12], out [12 13], left {1, 0}) time(NULL) = 1154568871 select(1024, [2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 12 13 14], [12 13], NULL, {1, 0}) = 3 (in [12], out [12 13], left {1, 0}) time(NULL) = 1154568872 The printers.conf file is # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.2.2 # Written by cupsd on 2006-08-02 20:48 <Printer color> Info HP LaserJet 4550 Location Lobby DeviceURI socket://lj4550.horizon.com.:9100/ State Idle StateTime 1154544318 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> <Printer hp> Info HP LaserJet 4300dtnsl Location Documentation group DeviceURI socket://lj4300.horizon.com.:9100/ State Idle StateTime 1154561738 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> <Printer lablp> Info HP LaserJet 1320tn Location Production Test DeviceURI socket://lj1320.horizon.com.:9100 State Idle StateTime 1154532821 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> <DefaultPrinter lp> Info HP LaserJet 4100 Location Lobby DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0 State Idle StateTime 1154547781 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> <Printer prodcolor> Info HP3550 Color LaserJet Location Production Test DeviceURI socket://lj3550.horizon.com.:9100 State Idle StateTime 1150936798 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> <Printer tofile> Info tofile DeviceURI socket://localhost:511 State Stopped StateMessage unable to open print file: Permission denied StateTime 1150983154 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> Which all looks fine to me.
