Problems with cups/printconf on Squeeze and Sid
Good day all
I can't get cups to do anything but show the entry page at
localhost:631. All of the other tabs display 500 Internal Server Error.
This is on an AMD64 system. Cups was working on a 686 system but the
system recently died so I have lost my print server.
The AMD sys does not have a parallel port so I am trying to get it
working with a USB to Centronics adapter. The adapter is seen by the
system and loads up the hplip module correctly.
I installed the printconf package and, while there are not bugs
reported on the package. I get errors from it.
A google search was only able to come up with the same error (shown
below) but no fix was found. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I
am at a dead end now.
