CUPS to USB printing no longer working
I recently installed a few new packages on my system (courier-imap and
courier-pop). I made no alterations to cups configuration. Unexpectedly,
my cups + samba print servers no longer function. When I print a document
from windows, I get an error message.
It's been working almost flawlessly for a number of months, until today.
I hope somebody can make some sense of this - the logs are very
complicated!!
Here are a few log messages:
When I disconnect and reconnect USB cable in printer I get:
# tail /var/log/messages

A bit out of /var/log/cups/error_log:

And a huge amount of this:

And some of this:
