The message is what I read on the CUPS web page in Iceweasel when I look at the specific printer and the listings of jobs. That is why I quoted it. As to quite where it occurs, I am still looking and thinking. I suspect that the permissions may be an issue, but I need to know where all the bits reside in the filesystem. > The terminals (i.e. nodes the printer accepts) are described in the PPD, > and are copied into printers.conf (which, despite being in /etc, is > constantly being rewritten by cupsd and belongs it /var). There are networking issues. The printer is not fully configured, I can ftp to the admin interface, but need to know more about some of the network settings. That is part of the reason for the attachments. > The arcs are defined in /usr/share/cups/mime, as are the heuristics it > uses to choose a MIME type (it doesn't use libmagic / file (1)).

I cannot reproduce a colour photo with pencils, yet, nor do I expect to learn to do so. I do have a preference for Postscript, with reason.
