I've been banging my head against setting up my new printer all afternoon, and just when I thought I had it I ran into an error that has me stumped.
I'm trying to set up CUPS for my printer, and the error (as far as I can tell) has nothing to do with the printer. CUPS hangs when I try to add the printer, whether I do it via the command line (lpadmin -p epson -E -v usb:/dev/usb/lp0 -m escp2-c40ux.ppd), or via the web interface. The web interface is more satisfying, because then I can select the driver I want (from the cupsys-driver-gimpprint package) before it freezes, with about 60% of my cpu time eaten by cupsd, and 40% by admin.cgi. Interestingly admin.cgi gets run (and takes around 40% of cpu time) even when running from the command line. Meanwhile, /var/log/cups/access_log fills up quite rapidly with rof - droundy [06/May/2002:17:55:52 -0400] "POST /admin/ HTTP/1.1" 401 0 and keeps getting rotated. It's a good thing cups does the rotation itself, or /var would be full by now, I think. /var/log/cups/error.log only shows I [06/May/2002:17:55:16 -0400] Started "/usr/lib/cups/cgi-bin/admin.cgi" (pid=19 467) I am at a complete loss here, and would greatly appreciate any pointers anyone could give me. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
