Same for me !
I was an old cups user but since I upgrade it and also KDE2
couldn't print anything.
Uninstalled cups and no printing any more.
Reinstalled DrakConf, lpr, rhs-.... and reconfigured
'lp'.
Nothing helps.
So I'm searching what happen exactly.
ILooked at /var/log/lpr.log :
Mar 9 18:21:40 localhost lpd[1465]: cannot execv /var/spool/lpd/lp/filter
Mar 9 18:21:40 localhost lpd[1464]: lp: job could not be printed
(cfA125localhost.localdomain)
So, THE PL DIRECTORY COULD'T BE ACCESSED !!
Setted the good rights and Wow printing was bak.
Hi PRINTERDRAKE that's a bug, isn't ??
