I'm absolutely dead, so if I make even less sense than usual that will make a lot of sense.
1. As I alluded to before, I built a new machine and I moved the hard drive from the old for tests, I changed a few kernel CONFIGs and I'm about 90% up on the new one. Old: intel 8400 with G35 (?) 3.6.7 CUPS-1.5.0 with foomatic New: intel i7-3770 with H77 3.6.8 CUPS-1.6.1 with cups-filters-1.0.24 Printer: Samsung ML-2510, USB. 2. To my shock, I found the printing completely dead on the new machine (using the "original" Cups-1.5.0) so I decided to go to Cups-1.6.1 as part of the troubleshooting. 3. After two days of really exhaustingly updating 12 dependencies or so, and great help from Armin, I ended up with CUPS-1.6.1 and cups-filters-1.0.24 on the new machine. 4. Everything looks and feels OK now except the printer (I just switch the USB cable between the two machines) is still absolutely dead. All I can say, on a simple attempt to print a two-character text/test file, I get D ... cupsdSetBusyState: newbusy="Not busy", busy="Not busy" as the last line in '/var/log/cups/errors.log' The resulting output is huge (LogLevel debug), but no "E"s, just "D"s so I think the new Cups-1.6.1, greatly improved over 1.5.0, with its strong Administrative/Security notions works wonders but is way over my small and currently weary head. Everything, software, hardware, configs look good (I even played with the "USB Printer support"- the new machine is so fast that a kernel re-conf and subsequent reboot leaves almost no time for any rest). To no avail (at least during this little time I got left for some "quick" tests and configs). Any helpful "push in the right direction" will be highly appreciated (starting tomorrow).
