Re: CUPS (Sid) not printing. (SOLVED?)
OK, here is the current status of this: I have two printers, both use /dev/lp0 and I have one of those switchboxes. One of them is listed as idle, the other is stopped. To print to the latter, I need to go to http://localhost:631 and start this printer. This stops the other one. So I must do two things: flip the switch on the box and start the desired printer. A pain. Is there a script I can use to do this, preferably automatically when I select the printer on the print dialog or else a simple command line rather than starting a browzer, finding the place, entering a root password, etc.? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: CUPS (Sid) not printing. (SOLVED?)
I went into http://localhost:631/ and started the printer. I never had to do this before so how to I make this happen automatically? If you put lp in /etc/modules and reboot, is /dev/lp0 created with the correct permissions? My /dev is static. I am not using udev. I have set the permissions to crw.rw Somehow, it had been changed to NO rw at all. This doesn't help if the module isn't loaded. Make sure it shows up in the lsmod output, along with parport. If so, does CUPS then start-up and make the printer available without manual intervention? I had to add lp to /etc/modules sometime after a 2.6.16.x upgrade. I will add it to /set/modules and see. I did not have this problem with 2.6.16 kernels but then again, I do not do all that much printing so maybe I did. Cups writes printer.conf with the default printer (with the data switch setting the parallel line to it) as idle and the second printer (not live) to stopped. So why did I need to manually start the supposedly idle printer? Run /usr/sbin/tunelp -s /dev/lp0 and see what it says. It should ideally say online/ready. I have two printers and use them through a switchbox. Either one with it power off: 127, out of paper, on-line The (default) hp690 turned on: 95, busy, on-line The epson lq570, 223, on-line. The hps listed as idle, the epson as stopped. Changing this by starting or stopping the printers from localhost:631 makes no difference. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
