Last time I checked was before the upgrade to Lenny. The utilities are
provided by:
cups-client: /usr/bin/lp
cups-bsd: /usr/bin/lpq
cups-bsd: /usr/bin/lpr
and I have the following packages installed:
cups-client/stable uptodate 1.3.8-1+lenny6
cups-bsd/stable uptodate 1.3.8-1+lenny6
None of which really addresses the question of what the error message
means. If I can see the printer in cups, why won't it print? Isn't there
some way to get debugging information out of cups?
$ echo foo | pr | /usr/bin/lp
/usr/bin/lp: Error - scheduler not responding!
$ echo foo | pr | /usr/bin/lp -d hpoj
/usr/bin/lp: Bad Request
The only other thing I can think of is that the cups server on the
remote side is running testing/unstable. Is there a potential mismatch
there, and how would I debug THAT?
