Two weeks ago, I no longer could send a document to either printer. I've got two printers connected, both of which used to work fine. One is a Canon S600 connected to a USB port. The other is a HP LJ 6MP connected through my local network. Both worked fine previously.
Whenever I try to print from a program (e.g., Firefox), the only printer available is the PostScript default. Previously, both printers were listed, with the HP as the default printer.
When I try to print a test page, I get this error:
lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable
I'm running Core 3, and have done all of the updates. I downloaded and installed the latest version of CUPS (1.1.22). That did not help.
Here are the last few lines from cups.conf:
# Encryption: whether or not to use encryption; this depends on having # the OpenSSL library linked into the CUPS library and scheduler. # # Possible values: # # Always - Always use encryption (SSL) # Never - Never use encryption # Required - Use TLS encryption upgrade # IfRequested - Use encryption if the server requests it # # The default value is "IfRequested". #
