it's even worse. I rebooted, printing still does not work (same eror
message). I can't find anything printing related that changed recently:
jojda:/home/erik# dpkg -L cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client |xargs -l ls
-dl|grep 'May 17'
only prints out few directories,
there are only two files changed in /etc/cups:
/etc/cups/printers.conf
/etc/cups/certs/0
the printers.conf looks like this:
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.6
# Written by cupsd on Thu May 17 08:22:52 2001
<DefaultPrinter epson740>
Info Epson Stylus Color 740 (360 dpi)
Location local

<Printer epson740_720>
Info Epson Stylus Color 740 (720 dpi)
Location local
DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0
State Idle

JobSheets none none

the certs directory looks like this:
jojda:/home/erik# ls -l /etc/cups/certs/
total 9
-r--r----- 1 root lpadmin 32 May 17 02:04 0

-r-------- 1 lp sys 32 Apr 29 23:59 15582
-r-------- 1 lp sys 32 Apr 29 23:59 15596
and now the most surprising part:
I just tried xpp, it worked!
and now lp works as well...
samba default command 'lpr -r -Pepson740 rrr' work...
what the hell happened??? any ideas anybody?
