I tried to uninstall the printer and now I cannot install printers anymore.
The gnome cups manager does not offer any printer drivers. The cups web interface does not work either. First it reported Error: Unknown or Error: Bad request when adding (and then also when listing) printers. Removing printers.conf did not help. When it was recreated the errors appeared again. Removing and reinstalling all of cups (except the stuff that is held by lsb), foomatic, and hp* did not help either. It just produces blank page on adding a printer, and the list stays empty. I guess the next thing to try is installing Debain packages or using the source. So much for user friendly distros. Just to make sure I tried memtest, and it did not find any errors. So there should not be any heavy memory corruption or somesuch. -- hplip cannot find DeskJet 5440 printer, despite CUPS's claims to the contrary https://launchpad.net/bugs/49107 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
