cupsys does not print
Two systems: amd64 and i386. Both ran Sid. printer is networked with
192.168.200.150. Added printer via localhost:631 as a network (LPD)
printer url is lpd://192.168.200.150/lpt1.
The printer comes to life, the data light blinks (Samsung ML-1430) then
the server stops making noise but the data light keeps blinking. No
paper comes out.
re-installed i386 to stable, re-add the printer via gnome-cups-manager,
tested, same results. So this is not a Sid issue.
tested from a win box, prints fine.
tested from ubuntu live (thinking maybe the Hawkings tech. print server
was going bad), prints fine.
This worked a month ago on Sid (amd64 box) before I test drove ubuntu.
I don't see any obvious bug reports.
I don't see a flood of messages coming across here.
Nothing in the cups error log:
E [04/Apr/2008:14:04:57 -0400] PID 26233 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/lpd)
stopped with status 1!
E [04/Apr/2008:14:06:54 -0400] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized
E [04/Apr/2008:14:19:57 -0400] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized
E [04/Apr/2008:14:19:59 -0400] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer: Unauthorized
all messages there are accounted for.
the print jobs just stays in the print spool.
All this is very strange. I have not had this issue before (though I
have had printing killed in sid, never in sid and stable). What to do?
