Printer in Gnome loathes being enabled
Howdie, fellow Debianites!
From time to time, out of nowhere, my printer refuses to print. When I
check it via 'System/Administration/Printing/right-click menu on
printer icon', I see that the menu item 'Enabled' is not ticked. I tick
it, I get assed for the root password, and then it starts to print.
Some hours, even days, pass peacefully ... and then it refuses to print
again.
As much as I hate this, I could learn to live with it: but what
*really* posix me off is the root password it keeps asking! I've made
all the users members of the lp and lpadmin groups --to no avail.
Everytime this happens, the stubborn machine wants the root password
again! Just to enable a printer (that has been enabled tens of times
anyway)!
What am I doing wrong?
