After using Mandrake and Knoppix over the last couple of years I have finally
managed to install a working Debian system :-), and everything seems to be
fine except the printing :-(
I have looked through several forums, and done my best to rtfm but haven't
come up with anything that has made a difference. I suspect it is something
very basic but...
I'm afraid I am at a complete loss. lp seems okay. CUPS seems to be properly
installed. In fact I have installed it and gs several times, but there is no
output at all, and no indication that my HP Laserjet 5L (using the hpijs ppd)
is even being told to do anything, although CUPS detects the printer is
present on /dev/lp0.
Below is the contents of:
1. lpinfo -v
2. /var/log/cups/error.log
3. /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
If anyone can help me get this sorted out I would be VERY grateful.
Regards, Alisdair.

# CUPS configuration file, generated by CUPS configuration tool.
# This tool is part of KDEPrint, the printing framework for KDE
# since version 2.2.2 and is used by the CUPS supporting module
# in KDEPrint. The predecessors to KDEPrint in former KDE releases
# were KUPS and QtCUPS; they are deprecated and no longer maintained.

#
########################################################################
# #
# This is the CUPS configuration file. If you are familiar with #
# Apache or any of the other popular web servers, we've followed the #
# same format. Any configuration variable used here has the same #
# semantics as the corresponding variable in Apache. If we need #
# different functionality then a different name is used to avoid #
# confusion... #
# #
########################################################################
#
# Server
# Server name (ServerName)
#
# The hostname of your server, as advertised to the world.
# By default CUPS will use the hostname of the system.
#
# To set the default server used by clients, see the client.conf file.
#
# ex: myhost.domain.com
#
#ServerName myhost.domain.com
# Server administrator (ServerAdmin)
#
# The email address to send all complaints or problems to.
# By default CUPS will use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
#
# ex: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#
#ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# Classification (Classification)
#
# The classification level of the server. If set, this
# classification is displayed on all pages, and raw printing is disabled.
# The default is the empty string.
#
# ex: confidential
#
#Classification classified
Classification none
# Allow overrides (ClassifyOverride)
#
# Whether to allow users to override the classification
# on printouts. If enabled, users can limit banner pages to before or
# after the job, and can change the classification of a job, but cannot
# completely eliminate the classification or banners.
#
# The default is off.
#
#ClassifyOverride off
# Default character set (DefaultCharset)
#
# The default character set to use. If not specified,
# defaults to utf-8. Note that this can also be overridden in
# HTML documents...
#
# ex: utf-8
#
#DefaultCharset utf-8
DefaultCharset UTF-8
# Default language (DefaultLanguage)
#
# The default language if not specified by the browser.
# If not specified, the current locale is used.
#
# ex: en
#
#DefaultLanguage en
DefaultLanguage en
# Printcap file (Printcap)
#
# The name of the printcap file. Default is no filename.
# Leave blank to disable printcap file generation.

Printcap /var/run/cups/printcap
PrintcapFormat BSD
# Security
# Remote root user (RemoteRoot)
#
# The name of the user assigned to unauthenticated accesses
# from remote systems. By default "remroot".
#
# ex: remroot
#
#RemoteRoot remroot
RemoteRoot remroot
# System group (SystemGroup)
#
# The group name for "System" (printer administration)
# access. The default varies depending on the operating system, but
# will be sys, system, or root (checked for in that order).
#
# ex: sys
#
#SystemGroup sys
SystemGroup sys
# Encryption certificate (ServerCertificate)
#
# The file to read containing the server's certificate.
# Defaults to "/etc/cups/ssl/server.crt".

# ex: /etc/cups/ssl/server.crt
#
#ServerCertificate /etc/cups/ssl/server.crt
ServerCertificate /etc/cups/ssl/server.crt
# Encryption key (ServerKey)
#
# The file to read containing the server's key.
# Defaults to "/etc/cups/ssl/server.key".

# Locations are relative to DocumentRoot...
#
# AuthType: the authorization to use:
#
# None - Perform no authentication
# Basic - Perform authentication using the HTTP Basic method.
# Digest - Perform authentication using the HTTP Digest method.
#
# (Note: local certificate authentication can be substituted by
# the client for Basic or Digest when connecting to the
# localhost interface)

# host.domain.com
# nnn.*
# nnn.nnn.*
# nnn.nnn.nnn.*
# nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
# nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mm
# nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm
#
# The host and domain address require that you enable hostname lookups
# with "HostNameLookups On" above.
#
# Encryption: whether or not to use encryption; this depends on having
# the OpenSSL library linked into the CUPS library and scheduler.
#
# Possible values:
#
# Always - Always use encryption (SSL)

#
# You can have multiple Port/Listen lines to listen to more than one
# port or address, or to restrict access.
#
# Note: Unfortunately, most web browsers don't support TLS or HTTP Upgrades
# for encryption. If you want to support web-based encryption you will
# probably need to listen on port 443 (the "HTTPS" port...).
#
# ex: 631, myhost:80, 1.2.3.4:631
#
# Port 80

# Browsing
# Use browsing (Browsing)
#
# Whether or not to listen to printer
# information from other CUPS servers.
#
#
# Enabled by default.
#
#
# Note: to enable the sending of browsing
# information from this CUPS server to the LAN,
# specify a valid BrowseAddress.
#
#
# ex: On
#
#Browsing On
Browsing On
# Browse protocols (BrowseProtocols)
#
# Which protocols to use for browsing. Can be
# any of the following separated by whitespace and/or commas:
#
# all - Use all supported protocols.
# cups - Use the CUPS browse protocol.
# slp - Use the SLPv2 protocol.
#
# The default is cups.
#
# Note: If you choose to use SLPv2, it is strongly recommended that
# you have at least one SLP Directory Agent (DA) on your
# network. Otherwise, browse updates can take several seconds,
# during which the scheduler will not response to client
# requests.
#
#BrowseProtocols cups
BrowseProtocols CUPS
# Browse port (BrowsePort)
#
# The port used for UDP broadcasts. By default this is
# the IPP port; if you change this you need to do it on all servers.
# Only one BrowsePort is recognized.
#
# ex: 631
#
#BrowsePort 631
BrowsePort 631
# Browse interval (BrowseInterval)
#
# The time between browsing updates in seconds. Default
# is 30 seconds.
#
# Note that browsing information is sent whenever a printer's state changes
# as well, so this represents the maximum time between updates.
#
# Set this to 0 to disable outgoing broadcasts so your local printers are
# not advertised but you can still see printers on other hosts.
#
# ex: 30
#
#BrowseInterval 30
BrowseInterval 30
# Browse timeout (BrowseTimeout)
#
# The timeout (in seconds) for network printers - if we don't
# get an update within this time the printer will be removed
# from the printer list. This number definitely should not be
# less the BrowseInterval value for obvious reasons. Defaults
# to 300 seconds.
#
# ex: 300
#
#BrowseTimeout 300
BrowseTimeout 300
# Browse addresses (BrowseAddress)
#
# Specifies a broadcast address to be used. By
# default browsing information is broadcast to all active interfaces.
#
# Note: HP-UX 10.20 and earlier do not properly handle broadcast unless
# you have a Class A, B, C, or D netmask (i.e. no CIDR support).
#
# ex: x.y.z.255, x.y.255.255
#
#BrowseAddress x.y.z.255
#BrowseAddress x.y.255.255
#BrowseAddress x.255.255.255
# Browse order (BrowseOrder)

# Specifies the order of BrowseAllow/BrowseDeny comparisons.
#
# ex: allow,deny
#
#BrowseOrder allow,deny
#BrowseOrder deny,allow
BrowseOrder allow,deny
# Implicit classes (ImplicitClasses)
#
# Whether or not to use implicit classes.
#
# Printer classes can be specified explicitly in the classes.conf
# file, implicitly based upon the printers available on the LAN, or
# both.
#
# When ImplicitClasses is On, printers on the LAN with the same name
# (e.g. Acme-LaserPrint-1000) will be put into a class with the same
# name. This allows you to setup multiple redundant queues on a LAN
# without a lot of administrative difficulties. If a user sends a
# job to Acme-LaserPrint-1000, the job will go to the first available
# queue.
#
# Enabled by default.
#
#ImplicitClasses Off
ImplicitClasses On
# Use "any" classes (ImplicitAnyClasses)
#
# Whether or not to create AnyPrinter implicit
# classes.
#
# When ImplicitAnyClasses is On and a local queue of the same name
# exists, e.g. "printer", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", then
# an implicit class called "Anyprinter" is created instead.
#
# When ImplicitAnyClasses is Off, implicit classes are not created
# when there is a local queue of the same name.
#
# Disabled by default.
#
#ImplicitAnyCLasses Off
ImplicitAnyClasses Off
# Hide implicit members (HideImplicitMembers)
#
# Whether or not to show the members of an
# implicit class.
#
# When HideImplicitMembers is On, any remote printers that are
# part of an implicit class are hidden from the user, who will
# then only see a single queue even though many queues will be
# supporting the implicit class.
#
# Enabled by default.
#
#HideImplicitMembers On
HideImplicitMembers Yes
# Use short names (BrowseShortNames)
#
# Whether or not to use "short" names for remote printers
# when possible (e.g. "printer" instead of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). Enabled by
# default.
#
# ex: Yes
#
#BrowseShortNames Yes
BrowseShortNames Yes
# Unknown
