I solved the crashing CUPS!
I was experimenting to try to get a printjob that stopped halfway
(I succeeded at my first try - see below)
Because the /var/log/cups/error_log became a little big I removed it.
Then I did
service cups restart
(to get a new error_log started)
which gave me the following output
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cups]# service cups restart
Stopping CUPS printing system: [ OK ]
WARNING: Inserted "ServerName 62.195.25.152" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
(to make broadcasting of printer queue info working correctly)
Starting CUPS printing system: [ OK ]
And from this point on switching to printing system CUPS in the konqueror
printer dialog works.
In the past it always crashed after two seconds or so, apparently after it
tried to do something...
Why do you think this solves my crashes in CUPS???
And my other question: why is CUPS not the default printing application in
KDE?
At this point I got brave and tried printing your last message from kmail.
Now the printer stops at approximately 1/3 of the page, with middle LED
flashing as described earlier.
The point in the log where this happens is before 11/Mar/2003:22:17:34 +0100
The CUPS error log is attached to this mail.
Wow, what a strange problem....
At this time I waited about 10 minutes, it's 22:24 on my clock now, still no
printing progress so I am finishing this mail now.
The other input you asked is in the attachment cups_error

description:
I have a serious printer problem (*) which I cannot investigate because
for me CUPS does not work at all in KDE :-\
Cooker freshly installed on a newly formatted partition, on Monday evening
March 9.
Printer is a HP Deskjet 970 Cxi, installed during the installation proces
with the (recommended) hpij drivers.
I'm using a DELL dimension XPS D233 (Pentium II 233) with 224 MB RAM.
Test page prints OK during the installation process except for the problem
mentioned at (*) which I was trying to investigate in the first place.
First observation: I notice that CUPS is not configured in KDE as the default
printing system. Instead the default is "Generic UNIX LPD Print System".
Is this intentional? I thought we were switching to CUPS?
Perhaps I made an error in the installation process somewhere...
Second observation.
I try to print something with the default printing system.
It works(*).
I switch to CUPS to try and print something.
It works (*)
I try to print again, with 2 pages per sheet.
Now the application crashes immediately.
>From this point on, any application I am in crashes instantly
when I select CUPS _and_ select the HP Deskjet printer.
Also the control panel (Peripherals-Printers) crashes when
I make these selections.
I switched the debug level of cupsd to debug2, restarted
cupsd, and (in a konqueror print dialog) selected
CUPS as printing system in combination with my Deskjet printer.
It crashed and produced the attached /var/log/cups/error_log
I'm competely at a loss what to do next.
Could it have anything to do with the fact that I accidentally
named my server DELL and it cannot find it in the /etc/hosts?
Please advice on possible log files or whatever that you want me
to include.
(*) Apart from the above-described CUPS problem I am experiencing
the following printing problem.
It seems to be unrelated to the CUPS problem because it was ALWAYS for
me like this during the last two months using Cooker.
The problem is described as follows:
I print a couple of pages with simple text, does not matter from which
application in KDE.
Printer is configured in draft mode.
First page starts very fast.
At half of page printing slows done with pauses between the lines.
Sometimes the printing stops completely at the half of the first page.
Middel LED of printer starts to flash orange.
According to printer manual this means printer is waiting for data.
Data does not come (I waited for 10 minutes or so)
Sometimes the printer manages to finish the pages very very slowly.
Changing the hpij drivers to eg the GIMPprint ones does not help.
They print even slower...
