cups completely destroyed (by kde-printer setup???)

[fenk]

hi!

i used the latest stable version of cups with esp-ghostscript to print on my okipage8w. (gentoo /kde 3.5)

it only printed half pages (sometimes more sometimes less, depending on the amount of data on the page), so i searched for setttings to cure this.

i changed the optien "RIP-Buffer" in the "filter settings" in "server settings" of the kcontrol printer setup.
now everything is a mess:
the printer doesn't work at all, cups doesn't listen to localhost:631 although i emerged it for several times now. the cups logfile says, that it has given out error 404 (so in fact it does listen, but shows a "not found" in browser)
when i try to use webmin to setup printers, it causes a massive memory overflow. kcontrol completely hangs when i try to add a printer or something.

what the hell is this?? if it was windows, i would suspect a virus, but not regular software, to cause such trouble...

... well, replacing cupsd.conf with cupsd.conf.default as seen in the commen problems thread made cups work again, but still the printer gets an error after printing part of the page... maybe a buffer problem?
