Here's my /etc/cups/printer.conf file for what it's worth. No "-" present.

I'm still stuck. This is especially annoying because the printer did work for one evening after following hubi's instructions. Then I turned the machine off for the night.
What I have: kanotix 2005-4 dist-upgraded several times a week; Epson Stylus Color 640 on parallel port.
What I have tried:
- Uninstalling/reinstalling the printer - nothing.
- Changing printers.conf line to DeviceURI file:/dev/lp0 didn't work - cups died.
- Creating lp0 with modprobe only added a few new lines to my cups error-log complaining that it could not open /dev/lp0, permission denied.
Maybe the best thing to do is go all the way back and reinstall cups again, follow hubi's directions and take better notes this time? |

I think that's the best course to take. I rarely turn my computer off or reboot. Unlike Windows where I was constantly rebooting for some reason or other. I would apt-get remove --purge cupsys first, then follow clubex & hubi's suggestions. I finally got mine to work this way, although I've been afraid to reboot again to see if the changes stick. |

well, my printer now seems to be working fine, even after several times rebooting, turning printer on/off, etc. I also just updated my kernel to 2.6.17-kanotix-1, but I don't know if that made a difference. here's my printer.conf file:

I admittedly don't know that much, but it seems to me that unless there is a specific feature that a new kernel provides, I don't see any advantage to upgrading it. It is a temptation to have the "latest & greatest" which can sometimes be more trouble than it's worth. The kernel, as I understand things, just provides an interface between hardware & software (GUI) & if things are goin OK, I wouldn't recommend messin with a good thing. I've learned this the hard way, but like I say, I'm certainly no expert on these matters. YMMV. Linux shouldn't have to be rebooted several times (like Windows) for changes to take effect, at least in my experience, so that's why I was kinda suprised that I had to do a reboot to fix this printer problem. I'm still nervous about doing a reboot, cause I'm tired of messin with this thing. At least it's workin now.

I guess I'm "old school" - where if you're not using something, whether it's a TV, computer, or desk lamp, you turn it off. I don't leave my computer on just to burn electricity. And if the settings don't "stick" after booting back up, then they were never really fixed, IMO.
Anyway, I hope my printers.conf file can help someone solve their CUPS problem. |

For people with the newest cupsys-1.2.1-3 I edited my method (which is actually horo's) on page one.
The line to comment is now in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
