Hi All
Not sure that I can get onto the meeting tonight but we'll see.
For the last 4 days I'm having trouble with CUPS not working. I've been
on the web and tried several suggestions including re-installing which
seemed to work and I could not see what's stopping CUPS from
connecting. Can't 'see' any of the printers both on my laptop and the PC.
tried:-
sudo apt-get install --reinstall cups cups-browsed cups-client
cups-common cups-daemon cups-server-common
That appeared to run and not noticed any 'failures' but still nothing
working.
Output was:-
