[cups.general] trouble adding beh

[Till Kamppeter]

Can you post the output of

ls -l /etc/cups/printers.conf
ls -l /usr/lib/cups/backend/beh
lpinfo -v
lpstat -v

here? Can you also post the content of your /etc/cups/printers.conf file

I have checked that my perl path is indeed in /usr/bin/perl. I dont see "network beh" in lpinfo -v, and when I try to put beh in printers.conf, I get some Access Denied errors for printers.conf in the error log. Any ideas?
