I am having a problem with cups, again, and hope that someone here
may be able to save my sanity.
I had my AMD64 box die about 3 months ago and have just recently
revived it. It is a 3 dist box with squeeze and sid up to date so far
but having different printing problems. Printing was working normally
when this box went down. Below is what upgrading introduced. I must
have screwed up something but am unable to figure out what has changed.
The hardware interface changed from serial db9 to a usb/rs232 converter
SID
Did an aptitude update/upgrade yesterday. Using cups I can print
using 'Print Test Page" Ok but can not print from Iceweasel, IceDove,
adobe/Xpdf as a user.
Root can print from the CLI using a2ps or lpr but I can not print
from my user account or get lpstat -t to show the installed printers
that it shows when root runs it, ie:
r...@dj:/home/wtopa# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: HP6P
device for 6P: usb://HP/LaserJet%206P
device for Cups-Pdf: cups-pdf:/

The user is in the lp and lpadmin groups.
wt...@dj:~$ lpstat -t
lpstat: Unable to connect to server
SQUEEZE
Using the same cupsd.conf and client.conf that SID is using, the X
print problems are the same as on Sid. On the console lpstat-t does not
work for anyone.
I gave attached the cupsd.conf & client.conf files.
Any pointers appriciated.
