[gentoo-user] Printing woes; firefox incompetent; cups printer disabled and cannot enable

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Woe is me.

First: Firefox 1.0.4 could not print.  It seemed to go through all the
motions,The printer command was some oddity involving ${MOZ_PRINTER}
or some such, and I just changed it to 'lpr', and it still wouldn't
work.

I forget why, but I tried 'disable lp0' to see what it did to the
output of 'lpstat -t', and
got the results one would expect.  However, 'enable lp0' gives this
odd error message:

-/bin/bash: enable: lp0: not a shell builtin

Now, this makes no sense to me at all.

So, now I have a completely unusable setup.  Any clues?

enable is a bash shell builtin (which acts on shell builtins,
coincidentally; see bash(1)).

Use '/usr/bin/enable lp0', or '`which enable` lp0', or 'enable -n
enable; enable lp0'.

Okay, thanks, that helps clarify it.  I got the printer working anyway --
my printers.conf needed manual editing -- it had two different lp0
printers in it somehow, one of them badly mangled.
