I just changed to su, then cd'ed into /var/spool and did a:Well I certainly have a /var/spool/cups so that cannot be my problem.
mkdir cups
As far as Webmin goes, I just used it to retrace my steps thru the printer process, making sure all was well. I never tried to print anything after creating /var/spool/cups, it might have worked just fine from that point on. It was what was mentioned in /var/log/cups/error_log.
I see what you mean, but, /var/log/cups/error_log, seems to be a log of each individual print job. Unfortunately for me my failed kde print jobs don't even show up in here, so it doesn't really help me much, excepting to say that whatever is wrong, it is likely to be before the main spooling opperations. I suspect the problem is something to do with kde's own pre-spool final setup mechanism. All that stuff about page select, driver settings , margins,resolutions, and I note kde has some sort of filter thingy doing something I know not what. If you go the KDE CC -peripherals-printers-instances-settings-filters there is something there, and I get pop-up messages like this,
The filter chain is wrong. The output format of at least one filter is not supported by its follower. See Filters tab for more information.
But it doesn't say anything that might help me understand what if anything the problem is.
Then again, according to KDE-peripherals-printer, kde believes my Z53 is on a port, local system-USB-USB printe~1-Lexmark Z53, maybe it is in kde parlance, but if so the OS thinks it is on /dev/usb/lp0 But thern again "Pup" see's my printer as /dev/lp0 which is wrong, and it should be /dev/usb/lp0 but nothing I do to alter it here takes. So I don't know ?
