Done. And now I can print from Firefox, etc (though Gimp has lost its
print function... ?? Different story, I think, involving gimpprint.).
I am still unable to access anything under CUPS from the Web interface
despite your previous suggestions. The cupsd.conf file is virtually
identical to the distribution file except for LAN settings for other
machines. This is what I have been using all along. A print of the
options is at the end, if that helps.
One thought I have had is whether some other process is interfering.
Specifically, is there any PAM module which might be screwed up, or
something similar? I'm not a geek, simply hobbyist from this
perspective, and don't know what else may be involved, but have read
about those being an issue in other problems before.
