Please attach: 1. your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, and 2. the output of: ls -l /dev/usb/lp0 Thanks. Oh, also: 3. the output of 'lpstat -s' Created attachment 129850 [details]

Maybe I should add that the printer worked fine until that update.

Have you changed that on purpose? No I did not do anything other than yum update from the core, extras, livna
and kde-redhat stable repositories. I changed it now, but it does not seem to

You might have to re-enable the queue with 'cupsenable epson'. Thanks that did it. I do however still wonder how those permissions got changed, I certainly did not change them. I have a cronjob running yum update every weekend and all of a sudden sunday I could no longer print. It is probably not cups though Except I still can't print. I tried a reboot and then tried to print. Nothing happened and the permissions were back to the ones mentioned above. Because of a HIGHMEM problem I have to compile the kernel myself on this computer, but I take your kernel source, and only change HIGHMEM parameters in the config, but of course I exclude kernel from yum update. Could that be the problem? There was no reboot before the problem first occurred though OK after every reboot, the permissions on /dev/usb/lp0 are wrong. When I correct these permissions I can print now. I don't reboot so often, but nevertheless, I wonder where this problem comes from Another strange problem with this printer, epson stylus cx5400, after the upgrade to fc5 is that the printer continues blinking after the print job is done, and you have to turn that printer on and off to get it back to normal. That did not use to happen when i was running fc3. Somehow the print jobs are not terminated correctly. Could you attach your /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules file please? I will do that. Actually the permissions and ownerships change whenever I log out and in Created attachment 129857 [details]
50-udev.rules
I am using kdm as login manager and kdebase was updated too, so could that be the problem? When I log out permissions as seen from another computer get changed to root.root 600, I guess that is kdm doing that or what? What about /etc/security/console.perms and anything in /etc/security/console.perms.d? I am at work now, but I will send them when I get home. I certainly did not change anything there not knowing about them, but I looked in there and the permissions fit with the fact that this printer is also a scanner, and there is a link scanner-lp0 to usb/lp0. Could that be it? Sounds like something from livna or kde-redhat has messed that up -- it isn't supposed to be like that. Anyway, cups-1.2.1-1.2 makes the usb backend run as root now because of a separate KDE bug, so that will fix this for the time being. *** Bug 193852 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
