trouble adding beh

[hcheng]

Hi,
thanks for the reply, Till!

[root at localhost cups]# ls -l /etc/cups/printers.conf
-rw-r-----  1 root sys 3806 Jul 12 00:30 /etc/cups/printers.conf
[root at localhost cups]# ls -l /usr/lib/cups/backend/beh

[root at localhost cups]# lpstat -v
device for konicami: parallel:/dev/lp0


As I have mentioned in my last post, I have tried changing permission of beh to 755, and 777 with the same result (beh not loaded in lpinfo.) During my troubleshooting, I have also tried changing the permission of printers.conf and cupsd.conf to 777 with the same result. permission 640 (above) is the default from fedora install.

Below is my printers.conf:
[root at localhost cups]# cat ./printers.conf |grep -v ^#|grep [:alnum:]
<Printer konicami>
Info Konica Minolta PagePro 1350W
DeviceURI beh://1/5/3/parallel:/dev/lp0
StateMessage Printer is idle.
Accepting Yes
</Printer>

thanks a bunch!
Haynes

The printer (Minolta PagePro 1350W) worked fine upon installation (on parallel:/dev/lp0), but I can't seem to get it to go through beh.

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?
