I checked /var/log/cups/error_log and noted that it was not able to read ppds.dat in /var/cache/cups
as root I went over to /var/cache/cups and chmod g+r ppds.dat and all is well now Note error message in log was that it was unable to WRITE to ppds.dat. I was not comfortable granting write permission to the file, but just adding read permission to group lp could see it was sufficient. -- most recent update in gutsy broke printing to remote cups printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154662 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
