For what it is worth, here is mine with a parallel printer: ------------------------------- [root@alfred cups]# cat printers.conf # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.2.3 # Written by cupsd on 2006-09-09 15:16 <DefaultPrinter lj> DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0 Location LaserJet 5L Info LaserJet 5L State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer> ------------------------------- I don't think you had a good cupsd.conf either.
