Going through kcontrol printer configuration, I was
hit with an
error that
cups could not be found (see attached dialog). That was strange
because cupsd
was running:
[15:49 valhalla:/home/david] # systemctl status cups -l
cups.service - CUPS Printing Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2014-01-30 14:13:50 CST; 1h
37min ago
Main PID: 839 (cupsd)
CGroup: /system.slice/cups.service
└─839 /usr/bin/cupsd -f
Do you have any ideas why kprinter configuration would not be
able to see cups?
Just to be clear, kprinter is now tdeprinter.
Run the following (konsole or Alt+F2):
tdecmshell printers
When the dialog appears, look just above the dialog OK/Cancel
buttons. On my system I see this:
Server: /var/run/cups/cups.sock
Do you see anything similar?

A bit strange, but yes, I now have the cups.sock interface, but I have a catch
22 that prevents remote printer setup. As a user, you do not have sufficient to
generate ppd files for this printer at home (normal HP Laserjet 4). In
administrator mode, after selecting the printer and pressing 'Next' the select
printer driver page loads, but the Manufacturer List and Printer List are blank
-- nada....
Have a look:
That's one I can't explain. (1) user sees manufacturer and printers, but
can't
gen the ppd, (2) root just can't see the printer in order to be able to generate
the ppd file. (God I miss the days of just selecting the PPD instead of a
autogenerate on the fly scheme...)
Any thoughts?
