No its not. Here are two lines from your headers: Received: from paradise.net.nz (210-246-27-184.paradise.net.nz [210.246.27.184]) by smtp4.clear.net.nz (CLEAR Net Mail) with ESMTP id [EMAIL PROTECTED] for linux-users@it.canterbury.ac.nz; Tue, 13 May 2008 17:28:53 +1200 (NZST) Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 09:29:48 +1200 This shows your message dated tomorrow at 9;29 am but received by paradise today at 5:28 pm Your timezone is set right, now as root run: ntpdate nz.pool.ntp.org That will set your date right and it should be fine from there on in.

I usually update the /etc/init.d/ntp script so that it calls ntpdate before starting the daemon, so the clock's put right when the machine's switched on.

Printing woes...
If I bring my box etc tonight would there be a guru who could sort out cups for me, I just about went around the bend with it last week. The printer is a HP colour laserjet 1600, cups recognises it and it appears to be properly set up, jobs get passed to cups queued and there they stay until cancelled. Any ideas anyone please? Barry
Re: Printing woes...
yes look in the cups logs and if that doesn't tell you up the logging (its documented in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf I think is the file). linuxprinting.org database specifies it as working mostly. http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-Color_LaserJet_1600 On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 3:32 AM, Barry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If I bring my box etc tonight would there be a guru who could sort out cups for me, I just about went around the bend with it last week.

Re: Printing woes...
lpstat -p will show any active printers on the system lpstat -a will show any active printer queues on the system Man lpstat for other usefull stuff. lpr -P printer name file.ps is a usefull low level test.

Barry In my latest upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy, my printer (HP Deskjet 670C connected via a USB-parallel port widget) has started disabling itself occasionally, giving the effect you describe (jobs sent to cups, queued, but no printing happens). It seems to get into this state when I unplug the printer: seems as if cups sees the printer is not there and disables it, but does not see that it comes back again so it stays disabled. In my case, I have to re-enable the printer: In System Administration Printing, choose the printer, then on the Policies tab, turn on the 'Enabled' flag.

Re: Printing woes...
Problem now solved, the device uri set up with cups was wrong. I compared printers.conf with the similar file from another distro, copied the appropriate line across and restarted cups = problem solved. Thanks for the replies, see you tonight.
