I've been trying to get my printer working again and it does not want to print pages. I can print a "test page" from cups (through a web browser) but I couldn't print any actual pages because "lpr" didn't want to/couldn't read my /etc/printcap file.
The printcap file was not updated by cupsys. So I decided to install printtool to see if it would fix things. Of course it didn't, so now I'm trying to go back to cupsys. I get the following error message though: debian:/home/emmajane# apt-get install cupsys Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: debconf debconf-utils debhelper gcc-3.3-base gettext gs-esp libcupsimage2 libcupsys2 libdb3 libgcc1 libgcrypt1 libgimpprint1 libgnutls5 liblzo1 libopencdk4 libpam-modules libpam0g libpopt0 libstdc++5 libtasn1-0 passwd po-debconf The following packages will be REMOVED: cupsys-pstoraster lpr-ppd modconf pppoeconf whiptail The following NEW packages will be installed: cupsys gcc-3.3-base gettext gs-esp libcupsimage2 libgcc1 libgcrypt1 libgnutls5 liblzo1 libopencdk4 libstdc++5 libtasn1-0 po-debconf 10 packages upgraded, 13 newly installed, 5 to remove and 156 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/8865kB of archives. After unpacking 14.3MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package libpam-modules due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option. E: Internal Error, Could not early remove libpam-modules So....I guess I need to "active the APT::Force-LoopBreak"? Or something? I tried apt-get remove libpam-modules but aborted that pretty quickly when I saw what it was going to remove.
