Hi all,
After today's update I noticed tat I couldn't print anymore. More
specifically I noticed that:
- I try to print something (usually with 'gtklp', problem also occurs when
using different ways of printing) to one of your printers. I'll use 'yeti'
in this example
- the printer icon appears in the system tray
- I open the printer by clicking the icon, but no job-info appears
- nothing comes rolling out of the printer
after fiddling a bit with /etc/cups/* I got frustrated and assumed I messed
up and that starting from a clean slate would be the best way to go. I
figured out which cups-related things I have installed on my box (dpkg -l |
grep -i cups | awk '{print $2}') and made sure I purged everything. Then I
checked to make sure that all config files were also purged. After this I
reinstalled cups. I set the loglevel a bit higher for debug purposes after
which "/etc/initd./cups restart" loaded the new config. I checked the printer
settings in Gnome. Cups had found our network printers just fine. So far so
good. The relevant bit of /var/log/cups/error_log:

I kept a 'tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log' open at all times and noticed a lot
of messages scrolling over the screen resembling:

Well, this doesn't mean much to me but perhaps it helps others. Just trying to
be thorough here. Next step was to try and actually print a file again. The
same things as previously happened all over again. The logfile shows:
