Greetings: Last night, I completed my upgrade to potato with an 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. The only breakage I haven't been able to fix is in papd, or something related.
When I try to print through the Debian system from a Macintosh, the file goes into the print queue but the print queue stops. I get the following message in lpr.log: Oct 10 11:35:44 owl papd[1816]: child 2573 for "^Ideclaser" from 65280.173 Oct 10 11:35:46 owl papd[2573]: lp_conn_unix connect /dev/printer: Connection refused Oct 10 11:35:46 owl papd[2573]: lp_print: lp_conn_unix: Connection refused Oct 10 11:35:46 owl papd[1816]: child 2573 done Since I don't have a /dev/printer, I sym linked it to /dev/lp0, but I still get the same message amd the same symptoms. lpq gives this result while the job is hung: owl$ lpq Warning: no daemon present Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 1st operator 67 untitled .(WP. 10364 bytes 'lpc up lp' lets the job print and restores the queue to normal until another Mac print job comes in. Printing works fine from the local machine and from a windows machine through samba. -- Mark Zimmerman
