Hi, Starting with buster, I haven't been able to setup a printer in cups. I've tried the 10.0.0 and the 10.1.0 versions of the amd64 xfce live image. 9.x xfce images worked OK, so something has changed.
apt-get update apt-get install cups /etc/init.d/cups start To admin in cups, I use the menu 'applications' -> 'settings' -> 'print settings' to start a cups client. Add print queue throws a prompt for credentials. Adding user to lpadmin resolved that. But, now, when click on add printer, I get an error dialog that says "CUPS server error" and "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'Internal Server Error'." with a 'cancel' or 'retry'. My apologies for not being familiar enough with either cups internals nor some of the details regarding the live images and the buster flavors of those. If more info would be helpful, let me know what to provide. If I should try a different live image, I can do that too. (gnome? 32 bit x86?) If the answer is, the live image doesn't support that, it would be good to know. I turned on 'debug' level of debugging and started cups. grep "^E" error_log produces: E [18/Oct/2019:03:34:00 +0000] Unable to open \"/usr/share/cups/mime\": Permission denied E [18/Oct/2019:03:34:00 +0000] Unable to open \"/etc/cups\": Permission denied E [18/Oct/2019:03:34:00 +0000] Unable to open \"/usr/share/cups/mime\": Permission denied E [18/Oct/2019:03:34:00 +0000] Unable to open \"/etc/cups\": Permission denied E [18/Oct/2019:03:34:00 +0000] cupsdLoadBanners: Unable to open banner directory "/usr/share/cups/banners": Permission denied E [18/Oct/2019:03:34:00 +0000] Unable to open spool directory "/var/spool/cups": Permission denied E [18/Oct/2019:03:34:00 +0000] Unable to open directory "/var/spool/cups/tmp" - Permission denied E [18/Oct/2019:03:34:00 +0000] Unable to open directory "/var/cache/cups" - Permission denied Thanks and best regards, Drew
