MDK 9.0 did a perfect job of detecting and installing my printer. But after a couple of days, the printer stopped working. The program I was printing from didn't give any indication that the printing was not successful. After trying to reinstall the printer and not succeeding, I went to the **extreme** of re-installing MDK. The installation only took a few minutes, since no packages had to be re-installed. And the printer started working again. But again, this lasted about 2 days and it stopped working again.
I decided to try harder to find the reason and here's what I found using the CUPS WWW tool: Description: EPSON Stylus COLOR 670 Location: shlomo1 Printer State: processing, accepting jobs. "Unable to open USB port device file "/dev/usb/lp0": No such device" Device URI: usb:/dev/usb/lp0 And here's what I found in /var/log/cups/error_log: I [24/Dec/2002:18:34:55 +0200] Job 22 queued on 'shlomo1_670_usb' by 'root'. I [24/Dec/2002:18:34:55 +0200] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 4233) for job 22. I [24/Dec/2002:18:34:55 +0200] Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic (PID 4234) for job 22.

I [24/Dec/2002:18:34:55 +0200] Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug" to find out more. Since this seems to be a USB problem, I used usbview and the usb viewer (from the KDE control panel) and both seem to indicate that USB is working. The printer is correctly identified by both utilities. Also, my USB scanner works fine. BTW, I looked everywhere I could think of and couldn't find where to set loglevel to debug as the above error message suggests. So, I have two questions: 1 - can anyone suggest what the problem is? 2 - can anyone tell me where to set the loglevel in /var/log/cups/error_log?
