hi:

I have customised a debian based live CD ie morphix . everyting is
working fine expect cups !.

i add a ipp printer "HP LaserJet 1300 Foomatic/Postscript
(recommended)" and when i give print test page i get the error on jobs
pages as:

----
cancelled at Thu Mar 17 16:49:02 2005 

----------
Then if the click restart job it says:

---
client-error-not-possible

_-------------


What i wud like to tell u is: the  some of the folders and subfolders
of the LIVE CD have read only file system and due to this readonly i
think the above problem is coming. so if any one can tell which
folders cups need as read/write it will be a good help..or any other
solution for this.


and also here is tail of /var/log/cups/error_log
