Hi,
Ok, Let's analyze the matter systematically !!!!
I have deleted everything using cups admin, job queue, printers.
According to BLFS cups installation manual, "There is a conflict between the
Cups libusb backend and the usblp kernel driver. If you want to use Cups with
libusb, do not enable USB Printer support in your kernel"
I have enabled the USB Printer support option in the kernel (As I have compiled
the kernel before I have installed the cups module !!!). So I have used the
--disable-libusswitch when compiling cups.
Now when I try to use the cups front end using the web browser and try to find
the printer- it cannot not find the printer.
Do you think this is normal as I have not compiled cups with libusb support?
if yes, then I need to add the printer manually, istn't it? Which I tried to do
but I do not know what I should write : the options are :
http://hostname:631/ipp/
http://hostname:631/ipp/port1
ipp://hostname/ipp/
ipp://hostname/ipp/port1
lpd://hostname/queue
socket://hostname
socket://hostname:9100
I have tried http://hostname:631/ipp/, ipp://hostname/ipp/ and
lpd://hostname/queuebut it didn't work !!!! it is saying not such hostname when
trying to print a test page.
It will be nice if you can provide me a step by step debug instruction
Thanks for your help.
Reagrds,
Roy
