Hi!
Since days I try to get my printing system running again.
With 7.1 (lpd) I could print but only when I restarted the
lpd or as root. With cups I cannot print at all. The correct
printer device and printer is configured and my Canon BJC 6000
printer initializes itself when trying to print a testpage.
First my printer configutation:
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.1.3
# Written by cupsd on Sun Sep 17 10:58:35 2000
<DefaultPrinter BJC6000>
Info Canon Drucker
Location Home
DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
</Printer>
Nothing more happens after the initializing phase. When I look in the error
logs I get (always) the following message:
==> /var/log/cups/access_log <==

E [17/Sep/2000:13:00:45 +0100] PID 23167 crashed with status 1!
As you see, the job seems to crash with no further information :-(
My network configuration is a ethernet card (for a small intranet) and the
cups administration pages do not run on localhost but on the hostname
(it's IP-Adress is the one from the ethernet card), even if I type in
explicitely localhost:631. I'm currently using 21mdk/11mdk of cups
(dl over the weekend is a pain for me as I only can use my modem).
Any idea what could be the reason for the crash ?
BTW: I also tried printerdrake again, but the latest Version I have
"crashes" at while configuring with the following message:
> printerdrake
Kein Paketname angegeben cups-drivers
Can't call method "ask_from_entries_refH" on an undefined value at
/usr/lib/libDrakX/printerdrake.pm line 46.
I use drakxtools 1.1.5-13mdk
