Yesterday, I emerged cups 1.2.1-r2. Now I cannot print at all.
I use KDE, and the configuration tools cannot make a connection. Even bare-bones init stuff doesn't work right: /etc/init.d/cupsd stop says it stopped the server, but /etc/init.d/cupsd start WARNING: "cupsd" has already been started but 'ps' show that it has NOT been started. lpstat -t shows confusing info about my printer: treat init.d # lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: lp0 device for lp0: parallel:/dev/lp0 device for lp0: /dev/null lp0 not accepting requests since Fri Jul 7 14:23:34 2006 - Paused lp0 accepting requests since Fri Jul 7 14:15:50 2006 printer lp0 disabled since Fri Jul 7 14:23:34 2006 - Paused printer lp0 is idle. enabled since Fri Jul 7 14:15:50 2006 lp0-2458 root 14336 Fri Jul 7 14:21:24 2006 lp0-2459 root 14336 Fri Jul 7 14:55:25 2006 treat init.d # SO: is it enabled or not? I guess I'll submit a bug, but I'd like to know if it's best to go back to cups-1.1.23-r7, which I had before, and for which I have a binary package. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
