About a week ago, printing stopped working. At first, it was just that applications like AcroRead would print without complaint, but nothing showed up on the printer. (I've got two HP LaserJets, attached via IP). Now, AcroRead simply freezes when I ask it to print. "lpq" freezes when I run it (even as root). When I bring up the KDE control panel tool for printing, it has a splash screen that says, "Initializing manager". But that splash screen never goes way. I thought that maybe there was some goofiness related to KDE, so I tried to log back in using Gnome. But now (I don't know if this is related or not) I can't get into Gnome either. After the login screen disappears, I'm just stuck looking at a plain brown screen indefinitely if I try to log into Gnome. Logging into KDE still works just fine. Does anyone have an idea how I got into this state, or how to get out? </blockquote></div> BTW, here's the tail of my cups log: I [31/May/2005:15:34:58 -0400] Listening to 7f000001:631 I [31/May/2005:15:34:58 -0400] Loaded configuration file "/etc/cups/cupsd.conf" I [31/May/2005:15:34:58 -0400] Configured for up to 100 clients.
