I did exactly the same thing as you - installed it because it would be 'easy to use' then spent a fortnight configuring it. CUPS in my experience is one of the very few UNIX programs that breaks after a while - everything else might be a bit tricky to configure, but once it works, it keeps working. CUPS randomly decided to throw away jobs, until I threw *it* away in disgust. ESR seems to agree (NB: I am in no way a fan of him, but the article struck a few chords) http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cups-horror.html Despite all this I am still thinking of trying to reinstall it this week - I don't know why... -- A bird in the hand is worth what it will bring.

First time CUPS user, config problems?
Hello list. I'm trying to use CUPS for the first time, with all the good things I've heard/read about it on this list. I'm mainly trying to use it as I've got an OfficeJet G85 that I've never used with FreeBSD and linuxprinting.org has a 'mostly' working driver. Here's what I've done thus far: I've installed CUPS, and have a running daemon. I can login and install printers. I've downloaded the recommended the correct .ppd file according to linuxprinting.org, and tried installing the foomatic scripts it says I need. When I try to print a test page, I get no output what-so-ever and no indication on the printer anything has even happened. I don't know where the CUPS logfile would be, so I can't read that. Anyone have any ideas? I also have a Brother HL-1440 that I've gotten working with apsfilter and lpd (it's a remote printer off a hardware printserver), but I'd like to get it working in CUPS, as it seems much easier to configure margins and such.

Re: First time CUPS user, config problems?
Hi, I hope this would work for you.. I have recently installed my printer and be able to print successfully using CUPS and gimp-print drivers. What I did was: 1. Install the latest cups printing daemon and gimp-print or whatever port you will need to drive your printer(I don't know if you still need those drivers though) some printers doesn't need one In my case I've installed cups-base-1.1.20.0 2. cd to /usr/local/etc/rc.d then 'cp cups.sh.sample cups.sh' 3. execute 'cups.sh start'(also, the next time you boot, you will see that cups daemon will automatically be started) 4. go to http://localhost:631/admin then try the web interface configuration of cups. That's it! Goodluck I tried the web interface, and that's what's not printing test pages. Do I need to move these execs before I try to print a test page?

At Sat, 17 Jul 2004 it looks like Peter Risdon composed: Cups installs /usr/local/bin/lp and /usr/local/bin/lpr and leaves /usr/bin/lp and /usr/bin/lpr in place. Back these up, symlink the cups versions into their places and try again. If I'm not mistaken, cups does install lpr and lprm and lpq . but I believe they have the following names lpr.cups lprm.cups lpq.cups In the past I've renamed the original files that were there already: mv lpr lpr-ORIG mv lprm lprm-ORIG mv lpq lpq-ORIG Then I create the symlinks so any programs looking for the original names, and alot do, find the cups version through the re-direction that occurs via symlinks. ln -s lpr.cups lpr ln -s lprm.cups lprm ln -s lpq.cups lpq Of course this is done inside the directory where the files reside. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ UNIX, A Way Of Life._\_v http://billschoolcraft.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you want to verify you have a properly running Cups before you do this, use the web interface (http://localhost:631) to print a test page. It ought to work. HTH Peter. Hey Peter, I tried the web interface, and that's what's not printing test pages. Do I need to move these execs before I try to print a test page? Not so good - I generally find this works even when the /usr/bin binaries are still there. Also, CUPS seems to have munged up my other printer installations pretty badly, and I don't know what to do to get them back. Probably because it overwrites /etc/printcap I guess I'd rather get CUPS working right anyways. Have you tried testing cups by using the cups binaries on the command line specifying the full path? #/usr/local/bin/lpr /etc/hosts should print. If it doesn't, you might get a useful error message. Peter. Thanks! If I try that, it shows up in the 'manage jobs: completed jobs:' page, and I get the following error: Error: client-error-not-possible Thanks -- Eric F Crist Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry, and the world WILL turn. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First of all, verify that you've got both cups-base, cups-lpr and cups-pstoraster installed on your system. Do a pkg_info | grep cups to do this. If all these three packages are installed, please provide the last, say, 10 lines of your /var/log/cups/error.log. -Henrik W Lund ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
