After a restore from a backup made when 7.2 was installed of the cups
directory, the cupsd.conf file is drasticly different. I have samba
printing back but still no lpd client access to the server. I
redirected the debug log to syslog and it shows authorisation errors. I
think that kups is causing much of the problem when I access the
security settings, probably because, with its limited view I am
missunderstanding the settings. I'll try vi and edit the file
manually. Can someone post (to me rather than the list I guess) the
(working for remote lpd access) cupsd.conf as a whole?
Print quality has never been a problem with my bjc-620 - just getting it
to work!
Also, someone asked if I am using the latest drivers, which I think
these are:
wdk@Ralph ~ $ rpm -qa|grep cups
qtcups-1.0-14mdk
cups-drivers-0.3.6-30mdk
libcups1-1.1.6-2.1mdk
qtcups-devel-1.0-14mdk
cups-common-1.1.6-3.1mdk
libcups1-devel-1.1.6-2.1mdk
cups-1.1.6-3.1mdk
wdk@Ralph ~ $
