Hi Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

An emerge --update --world later and I'm up at Gnome 2.16.2  amongst other things one of which I know was an upgrade to cups from cups-1.1.23-r8 to cups-1.2.6 any way I am using gimpprint drivers and have checked my config and all seems to be ok only its obviously not  as I get no printout at all.
| Code: |
jaguar log # lsusb

On a restart for cups I get
| Code: |
jaguar log # /etc/init.d/cupsd restart
* Stopping cupsd ... [ ok ]
* Starting cupsd ... [ ok ]
jaguar log # tail /var/log/cups/error_log

Whilst preparing this post I have noticed that
| Code: | I [26/Dec/2006:19:45:14 +0000] Started "/usr/libexec/cups/cgi-bin/printers.cgi" (pid=10863)
|
runs about every 11 - 12 seconds which seems strange
Any Help would be greatly received |

When you updated cups, did you follow the emerge advice? | Quote: | The configuration changed with cups-1.2, you may want to save the old one and start from scratch: | Code: | | # mv /etc/cups /etc/cups.orig; emerge -va1 cups |
You need to rebuild kdelibs for kdeprinter to work with cups-1.2 |
If /usr/lib/cups exists then you will also be advised | Quote: | /usr/lib/cups exists â You need to remerge every ebuild that installed into /usr/lib/cups and /etc/cups, qfile is in portage-utils: | Code: | | # FEATURES=-collision-protect emerge -va1 $(qfile -qC /usr/lib/cups /etc/cups | sed "s:net-print/cups$::") |
You should also run revdep-rebuild |

Yes, it's easy to miss these things even with only a few upgrades and sitting in front of the screen. If you wanted to be able to review these sort of notes at your leisure  you could emerge app-portage/elogviewer which saves them all for you and gives you a nice window to select and read each one.

| Strange thing is that printer seems to remain active untill a print is sent to queue then it get as far as 7% and then goes to not connected. |

Hey, I had a similar problem with epson cx3200
may be udev related. to test:
| Code: | | # ls -l /dev/usb/lp0 |
if the owner of lp0 is scanner... thats it
| Code: | | # chmod 777 /dev/usb/lp0 |
seemed to fix it... don't know about a permanent fix |

| Thanks -- same problem here, changing permissions of /dev/usb/lp0 fixed it! |
