CUPS won't work, and yet it does at home with similar setup. There's my dilemma. I run Debian 2.6.8 at my office. I frequently run apt-get upgrade to assure I have the most up to date system, but I fear running apt-get may have crippled CUPS.
About 3 weeks ago, after the update / upgrade routine, CUPS stopped working. It took with it the installed default printer to my linux box, which is a network shared laser jet attached to a windows xp box on my LAN. The printer works fine from xp, as well, it prints JUST FINE, from win 98se which runs under Win4Lin on my linux box. I just can't print from xpdf, or using enscript or in mutt by issuing a print with 'p' command when reading an item I want printed out. smbclient -L seth (name of the xp machine) works fine and shows the shared printer. I mentioned a home system similar to my work linux box. At home I run 2.6.7 Debian..and it prints just fine in character mode apps as well from firefox or any other application. I can't help but think that some item which apt-get upgraded has crippled my work machine. I open firefox and run 'localhost:631/' and it opens the main screen but refuses to add a new printer, or to show jobs. It just grinds apache 2 to a halt. I have not done anything with apache, but firefox seems to be getting progressively slower on this machine. Suggestions? Scott
