CUPS YaST update mess

linux-howto

http://forums.opensuse.org – EHLO folks. I am in need of some advice regarding CUPS. Until the 12th of December 09, I had nicely running CUPS 1.4.2 system on 11.2 SuSE. I apparently blindly authorized YaST via the Updater applet to "update" CUPS. What I am left with is a dysfunctional mixed bag of 1.4.2 and 1.3.11 and I need to know how to best fix this mess. Symptoms: snippet</var/log/cups/error_log> W [14/Dec/2009:18:50:10 -0500] [Job 17] Failed to read side-channel request! E [14/Dec/2009:18:53:49 -0500] Unknown configuration directive MakeModel on line 6 of printers.conf. <cups port 631 web admin UI anomalies, as seen on Firefox tabs> "cups Home - CUPS 1.4.2" "Administration - CUPS 1.3.11" "Classes - CUPS 1.3.11" "Help - CUPS 1.3.11" ...& probably many others I have yet to notice. I initially went to YaST to back out the packages I noted in the "/var/log/YaST2/y2log", but after seeing some ugly dependency warnings, I backed out and thought I should get some advice thank you for your time and consideration.

Cannot install printers 26 weeks 14 hours ago

Anyone have problems installing printers? I cannot install any printer since I get errors about cups.

My CUPS worked fine all the time on my 9.04 Jaunty Jacklope box until I restarted it today.

Now my printing setup utility, "System"->"Administration"->"Printing" can detect and install printers via USB, LPT or IPP.

I have a Debian server running CUPS 1.4.4, a Gentoo desktop with CUPS 1.5 (I think), and a laptop with Arch Linux and CUPS 1.6.1.On the Debian box, I have "Share printers connected to this system" and the "CUPS" protocol selected.  On my Gentoo desktop, I have the "Show printers shared by other systems" option and the "CUPS" protocol selected, and it pr

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 all, I am able to connect to the cups server of my university and the printers are all displayed in the printing settings app. I can print a test page on any of the printers from there. But when i try to print any document,image etc no printer comes up on the screen.

I have upgraded my 8.04 OS to 9.04 and all the printers are gone. I tried to connect to server from System->Administration->Printing and I get a message saying:

Code: "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'." I then tried to start cups manually:

Code: /etc/init.d/cups.dpkg-new start And Got:

[ubuntu] Cups printing broken 28 weeks 4 days ago

I have a problem printing from my Ubuntu 12.10 install.

Initially printing to a Minolta 283 bizhub hanged the printer for some reason.

I used the linux driver suppied by Konica Minolta.

It workd in 11.10.

Now I tried to install previous cups 1.5.4 instead. I removed cups 1.6 and manually built 1.5.4 from sources.

I'm trying to use Fedora, which I have connected to my printer, to work as a cups server, so I can access it from other computers, including Windows. I'm trying to get my IP address, but when I run ifconfig, I get the "10.10.10..." address, but not the "192.168.1..." address. I think that's what cups expects in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.

Seems like it should be a simple task.

cups seems to come and go 42 weeks 1 day ago

some weeks ago the printer configured itself leaving a neat little message to that effect

then during a yum update, I saw a cups update fly by

now after clicking on printer configuration, I get
