Except that it was problematic with other printing sources, which (AFAICT) did not go through evince. Actually this second problem turned out to be a likely operator-error problem - somehow the driver got mangled from the gutenprint to a 'raw' driver. No idea how that happened, but it's restored now. The weird thing is that everything looked good in /etc/cups/printers.conf, but looking at the config via the web interface showed the 'raw' driver. Recreating the printer conf using the web interface yet again fixed this. Thanks for the tip for setting the cups loglevel though, that could be useful in the future! -Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
