Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.1-3 Severity: grave Twice, now, I've had the experience of having to not only remove, but purge cupsys and reinstall it in order to get my bog-standard HP Laserjet to work. Both times, everything was fine immediately after the reinstall, but when I tried to print a few days later, nothing happened.
lpq reports "lpq: Unable to connect to server". "/etc/init.d/cupsys restart" returns no visible error, but lpq still says it can't connect to server and ps reports no cupsys process. And there's NOTHING in error_log. Literally, it's an empty file. Nothing in /var/log/messages either. No program should ever, ever fail silently. I really do NOT want to have to reinstall CUPS every time I need to print.
