[nylug-talk] Arms, planes, and CUPS

[Seth Rothenberg]

In between political discussions,
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions
how to debug a frozen cupsd connected
to an HP PSC-1315.

Thanks
Seth

It took just a few minutes to set up cupsd
with my HP PSC-1315 (1310 compatible) usb printer,
about a month ago.  I used up all the ink and
paper since then, and replenished.

Then, Last week, it stopped printing.
(The "Scan/Copy" part of the printer works)

I spent some time stopping cupsd, restarting it,
etc. to no avail.

Today I started reading docs, looked in /etc/cups
printers.conf showed "stopped" - I supposed something
I did (to try to fix the problem) caused that change.
I stopped cupsd, copied printers.conf.0 and restarted
cupsd, no improvement.

access.log shows GETS and POSTs and all the latter show Success.
error.log shows things like below.

Dropping the printer and re-adding it did not help.
Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
Seth
