Hello all,
After a emerge --update --deep --newuse world
and then
env-update source /etc/profile updatedb etc-update
I manually went throught the etc-update... Mostly X/KDE stuff
nothing related to printing...
I have lost print. I cannot even
lpr filename
The printer is fine, via a parallel port switchbox and MS pc
It has been working fine for 7 months.
You can set LogLevel to debug2 in cupsd.conf, and it will log
*everything* and might give you the error message you need to diagnose
this problem.
Ok, I did this; Here's what I get:

Where do I find out what status 1 is?
Status 1 just means it failed. Status 0 is what you want ;)
Anyway, I see you got it fixed by re-emerging, which makes sense because No
pages found! generally means a problem with your filters.
I think running revdep-rebuild might have told you that your cups was
broken, but maybe not...
PS: change the loglevel back to something sane unless you want MBs of printer
log files.
