A further update. I started double checking everything. I proofread mime.convs and mime.types again, then ran dpkg -l|grep -i cups and started running debsums with the "a" option which I hadn't used before.
debsums -as cupsys debsums: checksum mismatch cupsys file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf debsums -as libcupsys2 debsums: checksum mismatch libcupsys2 file /etc/cups/client.conf Next I tried apt-get --reinstall install cupsys and then repeating debsums -as cupsys with the same result as above. What might I do to correct these mismatches? Tom George PS I removed both my printer definitions and re-installed lp with the CUPS+GIMP-print v4.2.2-pre2 driver. It still doesn't work from a terminal - same old error - but I found that I could open the /etc/cups/ppd/lp.ppd file with mozilla and print it! I used the printout to double check against the ppd lines in the last message. With this workaround I presumably can print any file I want but its awkward. For example, I can't print a message directly from mutt. tg On Thu, Feb 06, 2003 at 09:23:36PM -0500, Jerome Acks Jr wrote: > On Thu, Feb 06, 2003 at 09:58:31AM -0500, Thomas H.
