I just installed debian sarge on my PC last week. I'm having trouble getting CUPS to work. When I try to add printers using the Control Center, the printer section just freezes on me. I've read through a few howtos on printing without any success. I need to print to a networked HP printer and a laserjet through samba. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Hannuman,
I've had some wacky thing happen to me in gnome, cups and udev. The gui
does bomb some times and I ususally try using the 'web' interface. point
either a gui web browser or links to http://localhost:631 and try that!
Cheers,
Kev
I've tried accessing CUPS through the web browser, but it takes several minutes to come up. During that time, my cpu is at 0%, so the computer doesn't seem to be doing anything. When the first page finally comes up, I click on one of the options ("Do Administrative Tasks", "Manage Printer Class", etc...) and it never seems to load the next page. Apart from that, I've modified the /etc/cups/client.conf file by uncommenting and changing the "ServerName" three times to :

ServerName localhost
ServerName localhost.localdomain
ServerName myhost.mydomain.com

Any other suggestions? Do you know of any files or logs that might help me troubleshoot the problem?

Thanks,

Hannuman
