 |
|
Been putting this problem off for weeks now but I've decided to have another crack at it.
Cupsd refuses to start, it simply hangs at the prompt, no errors, no nothing. A few seconds after this other things start to hang like my modem (usb if that matters) and dhcpcd hangs if I try to restart it.
The only way to get my computer back again is to shutdown completely and turn off at the wall (a simple restart or shutdown doesn't work).
The printer itself is an Epson 790 on a parallel port, but cupsd hasn't even started once so I don't think it has anything to do with the printer.
The details:
- world freshly emerged
- running kernel 2.6.5-gentoo (though the same thing happened on 2.6.3 and 2.6.3-gentoo-r1)
- I'm using the latest hotplug (a hunch from other posts slightly similar to this one)
- cupsd has been unmerged/emerged so many times now I've lost track, but in my recollection it's never worked once
I have a suspicion that the kernel is at fault, though I'm far from an expert at compiling kernels (I just check the same boxes as the previous kernel whenever I upgrade, so it's possible that whatever I may be missing has followed me).
I'm way out of my league here, someone please help!  |

Did you compile the kernel w/ Paralell Port support and Support for Paralell Printers?
Just an easy mistake to make but I don't think that would cause cups to crash.

error_log contains this:

Parallel support appears to be in ("parallel port support" and "pc style hardware" are builtin). |
