oops - didn't look hard enough.. i see in /var/log/cups/access_log
localhost - - [04/May/2004:23:02:42 +0100] "POST /printers/ HTTP/1.1" 200
177
so i increased the output level to debug in cupsd.conf
and get this in error_log (i otherwise get no report there)
D [04/May/2004:23:10:46 +0100] AcceptClient: 5 from localhost:631.
D [04/May/2004:23:10:47 +0100] ReadClient: 5 POST /printers/ HTTP/1.1
D [04/May/2004:23:10:47 +0100] ProcessIPPRequest: 5 status_code=1
D [04/May/2004:23:10:47 +0100] CloseClient: 5
which means nothing to me...but maybe to someone on this list?
where (device) mozilla does think its sending the output to? (my printer
is /dev/usb/lp0)
