Please would you 1. Set debug logging: cupsctl --debug-logging 2. Empty the error_log: >/var/log/cups/error_log 3. touch /usr/share/cups/ppd-updaters/* 4. apt-get --reinstall install cups Compress the error_log and attach it, a transcript for the output of the last command and your cupsd.conf to your reply. Regards, -- Brian.
