Richard, I'm sorry it seems I've really wasted lots of your time here. However I don't think this is the only problem. I really hope there is not some other moronic user miconfig... It's really a kick in the pants that my very first post on this thread Showed that stupid typo... I never would have seen it I guess, if you had not. But it was there in my very first post... looking back it appears glaringly right their in my posted `printers.conf'. It seems bad to me that something in cups error output did not point to that misconstrued URL. In fact, going further... I see literally thousands of lines appear in error_log (in debug mode) that are not error lines at all. Then the actual error lines are nearly useless in tracking down a problem. I'm still unable to print (EVEN WITH THAT CURSED URL FIXED). It may be too much to expect you to still hang in there with this problem so please tell me you've had enough if that is the case. If you are still willing... (and I cannot guarantee there is not some other horribly stupid user error) what can I post that will help diagnose this inability to print? I've posted below error_log excerpt, /tmp file content. smbclient connection to chub-print (at the very end) Why doesn't cups debug output give us some better diagnostic information? Can you see some other really stupid typo or something else in this output?
