How could this be if everything had been working great for several weeks? I looked at the logs and did not see anything worth while. After trying several times I saw several "printers.cgi" processes running. I then turned on "debug2" for more info and I did see a repeated message of "d [17/Aug/2004:08:40:22 +0500] ReadClient() 10, used=0" in the error_log. Does this mean something? I can access all features in the gui, except for "printers" and all the command line stuff seems fine. I have not touched any permissions on files. This is getting a bit frustrating and any help would be appreciated.

I decided to delete all the printers that I added yesterday and did a stop/start on cupsd and now it's back to normal. I wonder what will happen when I re-add them.
