CUPS port problems

2003-08-14 Thread imoore
Hi,
I used to have cups running quite nicely until I upgraded my system to 
4.8-Release (a fresh install afer fdisking the drive). When I installed CUPS 
on my new system and tried to add a printer, I got the message
Error: The printer name may only contain up to 127 printable characters.
It say this regardless of what I call the printer. 

I fooled around a bit looking on the cups site  mailing lists  this list 
for clues, but came up with nothing, so I left it for a while.
Now I've cvsuped my ports tree, removed cups from my system and kde which 
had installed cups-base, and deleted any leftover traces I could find. Then 
I installed the new port, plus gimp-print.
Now when I try to add a printer, I get exactly the same error. The error log 
file doesn't show any error messages. 

Has anyone got any come accross this or have any suggestions? 

Cheers,
Ian

Aha, I've fixed that problem, it was konquerer. I just tried it in Mozilla  
it accepted the name quite happily!
