Description of problem: CUPS incorrectly generates /etc/printcap (printcap) file from /etc/cups/printers.conf (printers.conf) file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.1.20-6 How reproducible: printers.conf file contains a printer defined this way : <DefaultPrinter HP1> (...) DeviceURI lpd://arkas.../lj5c?reserve=yes (...) </Printer> I mean, that on the arkas server lj5c printer should be used. BUT after restarting cupsd, which generates the printcap file, this is the result in the printcap file : HP1|HP1:rm=nil...:rp=HP1: where nil... = localhost. Both the server and printer are incorrect. It simply can't print and consequently lpq command generates "Error: loop in printcap". When I repaired the printcap file, everything worked OK. Unfortunately I can't work without cups, because some applications (OpenOffice) reads the list of printers from the cupsd daemon. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Bad /etc/printcap Expected results: Correct /etc/printcap Additional info:
What does '/usr/sbin/alternatives --display print' say?
