I've made some progress with cups since my last post - still not
enough though.
After searching for every file with "cups" in it with Gnome's search
tool, I deleted everything it found. Then I downloaded the rpm from YDL
again and reinstalled. At first I had the same problem (connection
refused), but "local" and "cups" both had S99, so I changed it so
"local" was S98 and cups was S99. This was opposite of the way I changed
it last time - I'm not sure if that made the difference or not, but I'm
now able to access the web interface and add printers at the command
line. The printer is configured, I gave it the PPD file from Adobe's web
site, and it seems as if everything is recognized and set up correctly.
However, nothing prints. I've tried the test page, a document in
Abiword, and an Xfig document. I don't get any error messages at the
time of printing, and the cups printer manager returns that the test
page was completed.
Looking through the error_log file only revealed one message that looked
like it might signal a problem:
SendError() 3 code=401
I'm thinking now that this may not be meaningful to my problem since I
haven't seen one of these in the error log since Sept. 20.
There were several lines with "D" in front of them - which I understand
means it's a debugging message. Many of them looked like this:
D [20/Sep/2002:21:47:55 -0400] mallinfo: arena = 182008, used = 121816,
free = 60192
Others looked like they were reporting normal operations: opening and
closing client, authentication, etc.
This message also looked like it might signify a problem:
DocumentNeededResources: font Helvetica Helvetica-Bold Times-Roman
So, my questions are:
1. What is error code 401?
2. Does the DocumentNeededResources message mean that there's a file or
library missing?
3. Where else might I look to find out a clue to my problem? Is there
anything else I could look for in the error_log file which signifies an
error?
If anyone can make sense of my problem, please enlighten me!
Thanks,
Cindy
