Tried that, it made no difference. /var/log/cups/error_log showed the same
messages as before, but .xsession-errors was quiet. In fact, other than
that one time, it's continued to be quiet. I'm not sure at this point that
the message I did get that one time is actually related to the problem at
all.... It's really weird - it can detect which printer I've got hooked up
to the computer, but it won't actually send anything to it. I wish I knew
what "status 32" meant, since it continually tells me in the error_log that
the cupsomatic pid is exiting with that status...
Any other ideas?
