To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Message-id: X-Archives-Salt: 41cffa14-da11-4243-9674-7f80f6c7b518 X-Archives-Hash: 240b5b97df20c9b03df2927a9e4e7ed8 Hi, on one of my identical (believed) machines, hal greps the USB printer and disables CUPS. I.e. on one machine hal-device | grep -i kyocera shows that hal has grepped it. On an identical machine (with a HP printer) hal_device shows nothing relevant to that printer and CUPS is working on that machine when printing to that printer. How can I stop hal grepping the printer or how can I make hal cooperative with cups (1.4.1) Many thanks, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
