https://bbs.archlinux.org – I do not have a solution to your problem but I would suggest to point a browser to 127.0.0.1:631 and configure CUPS from that. You will inteact directly with CUPS and it is better for debugging. Now can you see your printer from there? can you print the test page?Some printer need CUPS recompiled with the usblp module instead of libusb (recompile cups with the corresponding option to configure or look in the AUR).But you seems to say you can see your printer from 127.0.0.1:631? Try to print a file with lpr does that work? If you have messed up CUPS remove $HOME/.cups or try to reset cups to it (HowTos)

Hi Everyone,I have a huge problem and I have problems to solve it :S...I've been used to install cups and hplip for my printer, then start cups (rc.d start cups) and go to the cups page at localhost, add printer.... But today, when I tried to print a file he fails saying ""/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed"...

Hi everyone,

I tried to install a new printer via the Printer Configuration GUI, but I always got an error message from CUPS saying "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'cups-authorization-canceled'." I did a little bit of research on that but couldn't figure out how to solve the problem (yes, CUPS is running), so I installed the printer via the http://127.0.0.1:631/ and it

I installed fedora 11 on this machine about 3 weeks ago. My printer, an HP Photosmart C4200, worked fine out of the box.

But I discover today that I cannot print anything. Not even a test page using CUPS (http://localhost:631/printers/). If I try to print something, it sits in the queue, but does not get printed.

I have a running CUPS server on this machine (a bridged VBox VM, if somebody cares), from which I'm writing.

I've been trying to get my LP 2844-Z shipping label printer (Z means that it uses the ZPL language) to work with two machines, one with Snow Leopard, and one with Mountain Lion.* Ubuntu should use the same CUPS (Common Unix Printing System), which is why I'm posting here.

I have a network printer (Brother HL-2270DW) and it works great. The problem is that its IP address periodically changes. When that happens, the computers can no longer find it.

It's setup under CUPS as "lpd://192.168.1.104/BINARY_P1". If the address changes to 192.168.1.102, say, I can still print if I go into CUPS and change it.
