I have logging set to debug but there is no log file, anywhere, and certainly not in the standard location, /var/log/cups. It's not hard to run "find / -name error_log"; I have and the file does not exist. From the absence of any other responses, I presume no one knows where the error log went. I guess it's time to open Bugzilla. -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA +1 714 434 7359 d...@compata.com dhcl...@alumni.caltech.edu "Email is the 'file system' for people that aren't geeks.
