After doing a dist-upgrade last night on my potato system, lprng got replaced with cups. I found a PPD file for my printer (Epson Stylus Color 900) in the "evaluation" version of printpro (commercial version of cups) and put it in "/etc/cups/ppd/". The problem is I cannot print anything. :'( When I type "lp somefile" or "lpr somefile" (I also installed cupsys-bsd) the cpu usage jumps to 100% for a moment, then nothing. Running 'top' I see 'pstoraster' is what gets executed. In "/var/log/cups/error_log" there are things like: I [05/Jun/2000:22:31:34 +0800] Job 11 queued on 'esstc900' by 'rbf'. E [05/Jun/2000:22:31:34 +0800] PID 23337 crashed with status 2! I [05/Jun/2000:22:33:52 +0800] Job 12 queued on 'esstc900' by 'root'. E [05/Jun/2000:22:33:53 +0800] PID 23356 crashed with status 2! I've tried both ASCII and PS files, both fail to print. I'd like to try and make cups work rather then removing it, but I'm about ready to purge cups and reinstall lprng... This is on an Alpha running the latest potato. Anyone have an idea what the problem(s) could be? Also, since lprng got removed do I need magicfilter anymore?
