Thanks! Now I've got *lots* of stuff to contemplate!
Who knows Mike, it might even be educational. I use that technique from
time to time to figure out why something that should work, gets me a
terminal error message. And from that, deduce the fix about 25% of the
time. The rest of the time I've found the cups list fairly helpfull.
Well, I know what is missing, I think. But I'm not sure what to do
about it. Here's the interesting part of the error_log...
I [21/Feb/2006:23:27:24 -0600] Started backend
/usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel (PID 10154) for job 493.

So, foomatic-rip is gone somehow. There's a man page for that,
so it's apparently an installed program as part of cups.
I don't have it on my backups, so I dunno where to go from here...
Wait!
# locate foomatic-rip
/usr/local/bin/foomatic-rip
/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
/usr/share/man/man1/foomatic-rip.1.gz
/usr/bin/foomatic-rip
/home/jmccarty/downloads/drivers/hpijs-2.1.4/foomatic-rip
I wonder if hpijs-2.1.4 could be uninstalled and reinstalled,
or just that file copied, and it would work?
Well, I just did
# make install
From /home/jmccarty/downloads/drivers/hpijs-2.1.4/foomatic-rip
and a test page now prints. I just tried printing this e-mail,
and out it came!
Oh frabjous day! Calloo! Callay!
Thanks, Gene!
Mike

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
