[TriLUG] CUPS grrrrrr....... CUPS!!!!!!!! (picture kirk screaming Kahn)

[Greg Brown]

nope, ghostscript didn't seem to be the problem.  I finally got so sick 
of being unable to print that I just reconfigured CUPS on my Mac OS X 
laptop so I could add the printer manually. Now it works fine.

When I get a few things done around here today I'll try to get the 
shared printer working again and, if I do fix it, I will post what I 
did, and how.

For now, if you have a Mac OS X client and you want a cupsd.conf that 
will allow you to manually add printers via the web interface 
(http://127.0.0.1:631) make a backup copy of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf then 
put the following in a brand new emtpy /etc/cups/cupds.conf then 
restart cups or reboot:

ServerName 127.0.0.1
LogLevel info
MaxCopies 10000
ConfigFilePerm 0644
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
