Well, I added the file http://librarian.launchpad.net/3900492/printingbuginfo.txt made with the script available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrintingBugInfoScript > It would be nice if you could describe what you have already tried to investigate the problem. I installed KDE 3.5.4 from http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-354/ and did not afraid any problem due to its stable state. It promised eliminate a lot of problems, including several CUPS problems - at http://kubuntuforums.net/ we may read: * Updated cupsys to upstream bugfix release 1.2.2, fixing many bugs (including #42513, #42802, #44931, #47387, #48116, #51432, and part of #42802). This Kubuntu 6.06.1 include KDE 3.5.4 and CUPS 1.2.2, I suppose. I did not mention the CUPS problem until I needed to install network printer. Then I could not access over web interface even CUPS is working. I made restart using usual command sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart ... and it started normally. I included my error_log also and it shows no errors. I changed log level to debug in CUPS config file to get more output into this log file but it did not give errors. I use the kernel 2.6.15-23-386, because 2.6.15-26-386 seems to be buggy, because sound server ALSA crashed and whatever I tried to play (Amarok, Kaffeine, XMMS, MPlayer) looped endlessly and only killing the program stopped it. I don't know, is it KDE 3.5.4 and 2.6.15-26-386 (26.46) incompatibility issue or is this new kernel really so buggy. Anyway - I use the original kernel, what came from Kubuntu 6.06 LTS Alternative installation CD. > Is cups running? Run the following command to find out: > $ ps -A | grep cups 4030 ? 00:00:00 cupsd > $ /etc/init.d/cupsys status Status of Common Unix Printing System: cupsd is running. Well, it seems like running. This is the most strange thing - everything seems to be fine but no access to CUPS daemon... >What does the following command give: > $ lpinfo -v Nothing - it just start waiting something and no output. I should use CTRL+C to cancel it. > Please attach your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and /etc/cups/cups.d/* Please see attached cups_config_files.tar.gz file. > Are you able to access the webinterface (http://localhost:631) No, I'm not able to access. > if not do a ping localhost. I read this problem and my localhost exist: $ ping localhost PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.092 ms 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.085 ms 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.084 ms --- localhost ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.084/0.087/0.092/0.003 ms > More information and a workaround for your problem can be found in bug #55828 Unfortunately I were not able to change any format to raw due to no access of CUPS Another thing - I made Kubuntu 6.06 Alternate install onto another machine and there I did not install KDE 3.5.4 and left this KDE, what it updated - KDE 3.5.2. And result is, that I can access to CUPS in all ways and also added network printer. I also remember, when I installed Kubuntu 6.06 few days ago and installed KDE 3.5.3, then also I could access to printing system to install printer. So, it seems like KDE 3.5.4 has communication problems with CUPS daemon. But it seems like I have to reinstall my whole laptop and I don't want to make experiment with my work PC - does KDE 3.5.3 work with CUPS or not. I just don't have so much time always reinstall whole system due to some nasty bug. Or is there option to downgrade KDE in working way? -- Printing broken by Updates of 2006 Aug 1 https://launchpad.net/bugs/55205 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
