Yet, your response to the above suggests a possible misunderstanding of the thought offered by Colin. From the console or an xterm window, type id and see if you, the user, have lpadmin listed as one of your groups. If so, then do send the contents of your cupsd.conf file, since the following won't apply (unless you never logged completely off since being added to the group--if so, see below). If not, log in as root at the console or an xterm window. Then type adduser yourLoginName lpadmin Log out of X-window COMPLETELY, to the point that you must log back in as the user at the console (or gdm/kdm/whatever), and restart X-window. Now try again to access things under localhost:631, using your name and password (not root's) when asked.

I have had some help from my LUG and it seems my problem might be udev, and I have to read up on that. So here is what I have done so far and what has been advised in case yours is not a udev problem. With cups 1.2.2-1 for an Epson C43UX printer # adduser to lpadmin so that you don't have to be root. This was suggested:- From the CUPS forum, an 'lpinfo -v' should include entries like - direct usb:/dev/usb/lp0 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp1 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp2 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp3 direct usb:/dev/usb/lp4 My result was:- # lpinfo -v network socket network beh network http network ipp network lpd This was suggested:- Does your system report anything like that? Do you need to modprobe usblp? My result was there was no return from that command. The next suggestion was this:- Does the CUPS backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb exist? is it executable? My answer to both was yes This was also contributed by someone having a problem like my own but the printer still didn't work:- A bit of googling [1] discovered that I should mkdir /dev/usb mknod /dev/usb/lp0 c 180 0 I did these things, and next time I started cups, the printer was detected, and I only had to press the add print button for it to be added. interestingly the printer uri was usb://EPSON/Stylus%20COLOR%20760. Things were looking good. I went to the printer page and pressed print test page button. The job was added, and the printer status changed to Printer not connected, retrying in 30 sec These were supplied as worth reading:- [1] http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x342.html http://nuclear.ucdavis.edu/protected/computing/usb_printing.txt http://osr600doc.sco.com/en/PR_gimpprint/x456.html - has a word of caution re: USB printers http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=7529sid=14b5d9daf313e4642ed13847983e5b24 In dmesg my printer is detected thus:- drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0005 usbcore: registered new driver usblp drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver At the end I get this:- Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsldp: driver loaded but no devices found. This was the final suggestion:- From your reports, it seems the required device (/dev/usb/lpx) isn't present, which is starting to point towards udev, if indeed etch uses udev. If so, then I don't think explicitly creating the device with mknod will see it persist through a reboot. Udev does wonderful magic, but it can be horrible to deal with when it fails to perform the magic you need. Hope this helps, and if you get your printer to work, could you please post to this list, as I had no problems with this printer in sarge, using an earlier version of cups. There is at least one other that is having problems. Thank you.

When I I don't know if it's related, but I had a similar problem on FreeBSD with cups, after a couple months of uptime all-of-a-sudden CUPS was printing SLOW(slow as in 1 page per 10 minutes). Turns out my parallel port was not configured for interrupt driven operation(which, by default is off in linux, and apparently freeBSD). if your using kernel 2.2 do something like: echo 7 /proc/parport/0/irq (where 7 is the IRQ of your parallel port, most often it is 7) if your using kernel 2.4 I believe you need to specify the option on the command line(or in modules.conf) something like: modprobe lp irq=7 see if it speeds it up ?? nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
