Thank you Peter for posting this bug. I've spent two evenings tracking this.
I was on to the same thing, saw the same errors, but it never occured to me that the symlink would be an obstacle. As you, I had made a symlink from /usr/share to /home/share on an old Eee PC 901 running Lubuntu 12.10 with severly limited primary partition. It's just not possible to fit /usr/share onto the root partition. The solution, brought by you, was to remove the symlink, create a folder /usr/share and symlink every subfolder to /home/share, except cups, and as I found out, also ppd. Now the printing works a charm, also http://localhost:631. -Ivar! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215733 Title: cups config files cannot deal with symlinks and/or other filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1215733/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
