Hi everyone, after some misguided, uninformed apt-getting I broke my CUPS system and couldn't figure out what was wrong. So I decided to remove all CCUPS packages (cupsys, cupsys-client, and a couple of tohers) as well as the foomatic packages, reinstall them, and try again.
Now CUPS is reinstalled, but I'm having a terrible time getting my printer reinstalled. Here's the situation: even though I ran apt-get remove --purge, when I reinstalled CUPS my old printer ocnfiguration files were still there. So to try and get rtd of htem, I erased /etc/cupsys/printers.conf. This was not sufficient; cups still seems to think that my old printers are there, andwhen I try to removethem I get "ckient-error-gone" in the web interface (I can't find these errors in the error log, or I'd give you a afuller reading from the log) SAo I figured I'd just try to add a new pritner description. When I do this, I get "client-error-not-authorized". I tried fiddng around with the authorizations in cupsd.ocnf, but this hasn't helped yet. I should add that I had some trouble setting my printer up when I first installed it (I have a Lexmark z53 on USB), but I kept careful notes about how to fix the problem (after someone helped me out on this list!) and have followed them scrupulously. Can anyone help me? I can't find a description of these "client-errors" anywhere inth e CUPS docs! thanks, matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
