No, I have not even configured a printer. I was hoping I could do that through the slick cupsd UI.Do you have the parport kernel module installed, and the above directories and files in /proc with appropriate permissions?
Most important, do you use the parallel port for your printer?
I *did* notice however on the machine where cupsd runs when I look in proc:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc/sys/dev$ ls /proc/sys/dev cdrom
but on the machine where cupsd dies there is a /proc/sys/dev/parport directory:
linstation1:/proc/sys/dev/parport# ls -al total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Dec 5 07:53 . dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Dec 5 07:53 .. dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 5 07:53 default dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Dec 5 07:53 parport0 linstation1:/proc/sys/dev/parport#
Also the machine where cupsd runs has a /dev/lp1 and the nonworking machine does not. They are both running slpd with out of the box slp.conf. Could the missing lp1 special file
be the problem? Where does /dev/lp1 come from?
