Unfortunately, the bug is different now. I do not even get an error message any more, but only a white page. The attached error_log (with unstable CUPS) shows first trying to print a test page on the printer which looked like installed OK despite of the error message during the install, but that page simply vanished into thin air. I then deleted the printer and tried to reinstall it, which resulted in the white page being shown at the place where the error message used to be. > > I have also noticed that a lot of files from the packages have > > permission 600 now: > > > > $ ls -al /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp > > -rwx------ 3 root root 25K 11.

To make things worse, there does not seem to be a package owning the following files under /usr/lib/cups/backend: dnssd, http, ipp, lpd, parallel, scsi, serial, snmp, socket and usb. > > which is violating a policy SHOULD, iirc. > > In experimental it is at least fixed to be 744, so that it's world > readable. I always had the impression of having the experimental packages installed, but I hadn't. I have now: $ dpkg --list '*cups*' | grep '^ii' ii cups 1.3.9-2 ii cups-bsd 1.3.9-2 ii cups-client 1.3.9-2 ii cups-common 1.3.9-2 ii cups-pdf 2.4.8-3 ii cupsddk 1.2.3-5 ii cupsddk-drivers 1.2.3-5 ii libcups2 1.3.9-2 ii libcupsimage2 1.3.9-2 ii libgnomecups1.0-1 0.2.3-3 Unfortunately, this didn't help me in printing but instead changed the behavior of the system. I'll file a new bug. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
