Re: [gentoo-user] CUPS problem
I think this is one of those multifactorial problems, and I'm unable to pin down the exact cause. I did several things that might have conspired to make printing stop working. I have a new motherboard, M2N-E, from ASUS, with a dual core AMD64-X2 processor (dual core), that has given me fits booting. I moved to the new motherboard after having compiled a first approximation to an SMP kernel with support for features and hardware I know about, then at last I tried a world update, after I'd been using gentoo for a few days. I had been printing all this time. My initial investigations (ie, google) revealed a large number of problems with the motherboard involving APIC or ACPI. Both, I think. Other problems mentioned were SATA, and I saw more than one reference to USB. USB and SATA are now sharing an interrrupt with that gentoo boot. When attempting to print or set up printing with CUPS: the printer shows up in CUPS as HPLIP. I had another printer on USB, and while I recall always CUPS showed me USB printers, both, as choices for found printers, no solely USB entries were seen. The other printer now has burned up in what I hope was a disconnected incident, a Brother HL1440, the fan burned out. I can install the HP multifunction as the HPLIP printer, and it shows as ready, but when I print, no printer action happens, and the jobs are immediately marked as stopped. I suspect some USB foibles, but the flash drives work fine. I recompiled with usblp as a module and compiled in, and several times recompiled, but got stuck in a place where I couldn't see a way out. When attempting to boot to that kernel, or other gentoo kernels I have compiled around (I do not use initrd/genkernel), almost every time since the initial boot (that went ok), the machine locks up during boot. It might take three or four attempts, but the machine locks up somewhere during the process. After cupsd has been started, somewhere around where syslog-ng is started, or hal, the machine locks. The next boot it stops ate approximately the same place, or perhaps further along. Finally, usually three or four boots later, it boots and no further problems are experienced.

I thank several list denizens for suggestions. I apologize for taking so much time in explaining this again, but I'd really appreciate any suggestions, before I become more committed to using Ubuntu.
