Simultaneously, I notices that Apple now owns the copyright, and after a recent upgrade, stopped working. I have to blame myself, because running cfg-update, the changes to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf were considerable, involving three, and not two files to be merged. The interface of xxdiff is not intuitive, to me: I've blundered through it's kludgey structure for a while, but this time I was genuinely confused. Furthermore, I made the mistake of taking a stab in the dark. So I uninstalled CUPS completely, and reinstalled. Then installed the printer again. It is doing the same thing: the interface at localhost:631 says that the printer is ready to print. Any job sent to the queue, including test prints, are immediately "stopped". Reprint a job, and it is immediately stopped. Hypotheses: New ASUS M2N-E Motherboard (was working before upgrading CUPS) Configuration file issues. (I have deleted the entire directory /etc/cups, and the new derault file was replaced with a simplified one scavenged of a mailing list, but with no improvement. Unknown factors (where to start?) So I am turning to the mailing list for suggestions. Any ideas?
