Blame that in tbird.
Yet another part of the compting experience tou are unable to
control?
I give up, the driverless printer cups installs automaticaly cannot be
deleted and has taken over from the brother drivers that work,
preventing me from using the printer at all.
So how do I disable the driverless junk? Is that a separate package
that is removable? cups doesn't even offer to disable this
non-working garbage. Thanks for any good clues.
Driverless printing is only possible when avahi-daemon is on the
system. Your solution is obvious.
avahi-daemon 0.8-5 is installed.
Is this the avahi-daemon that, in the past, you have characterised as
unfit to be used on a local network and that didn't deserve any of
your disk space.
True, but that is all, none of its kin is. And I did find out how to
defeat it. But
when I went to look, that file has vanished and its still working.
So what happened that got /etc/dhcpcd.conf removed?
It had a fallback stanza near the bottom that I had edited in
the default eth0 config. That finally got rid of the totally bogus
169.xx.yy.zz
routing address. Now the file is gone, and its still working.
See the ppd driverless attached to my
previous msg it just now made.
It looks busted to me.
Broken files are best not used. Remove and follow my previos advice.
I have. and cups brings it back automatically on the restart that does.
Probably
20 times I've deleted it. Its back before I can look to see if its gone.
Take care and stay well, Brian.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
