In reply to myself, Been doing some debugging; The kupsdconf utility was not writing to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. Almost everything was remmed out including ServerName etc. After some manual editing I have partial success. Problem: If I try to print from Wordperfect, it issues a command like: lpr -Pdeskjet520 /tmp/_pp_0000005957_8 (as listed from ps -aux) This kills the cups daemon instantly. The cups log ends with: cupsd[5643]: REQUEST localhost - - "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 77 and a ps -aux shows the daemon as gone. No further errors are logged (and I'm in debug mode). What does work is printing from Nedit. It issues a: lpr -J "file.name" , although what shows up with ps -aux is: parallel:/dev/lp0 6 sundance file.menu 1 perl /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic 6 sundance file.menu 1 etc. So, does anybody have Wordperfect printing or any idea what might be causing it to kill cupsd? Thanks Dave. --------- 18-Dec-2000 16:37:21 ---------
