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 -

lp0 accepting requests since Fri Jul  7 14:15:50 2006

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.
