I managed to "fix" this one by doing the following (as root or with sudo):
# dpkg -l | grep cups remove all of the above listed packages with: # dpkg --purge <package names> then reinstalling cups: # apt-get install cups I think one of the packages I had installed (cupsys-hal perhaps) was causing problems. After removing all packages cups related, and reinstalling the minimum necessary to do the job, things started working again. I still consider this to be a bug - perhaps there is an undocumented conflict happening. -- 7.10 /usr/lib/cups/backend/hal failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
