the cups was working just a minute ago and I was able to print using lp filename
I checked the default samba command and tried if it works: lpr -r -P%p %s (I used epson740 instead of %p and filename instead of %s) it didn't print because of printer error (paper jam). from then on (not sure if there's any causality there, I also upgraded system at the same time) the printers do not work: jojda:/home/erik# lp rrr lp: unable to print file: The requested resource was not found on this server. jojda:/home/erik# lpq epson740 is ready no entries it doesn't even get to queue... I haven't found anything suspicious (or even related) in syslog or cups logs... any ideas? I tried enable/disable printers (no error messages from therese), restarting of cups (no error messages) nothing helps. any ideas? haven't found anything related on the web... but I have found out there is a huge number of OLD bugs (more or less serious) files against cupsys package. anybody knows the story? is it going to orphaned or something? I thought it's on the way to become primary printing system. it certainly was easy to set up and it _was_ working nicely. when it was working. now the web interface doesn't work anymore (plus there are other problems). TIA erik
