trouble adding beh

[hcheng]

Hi Till,

I have been restarting CUPS. (I even tried rebooting the machine) no change. Permission for /usr/bin/perl was already set to 755, and I have removed write privilege from others for beh. restarted cups again. still no beh in lpinfo. :(

Any other ideas?

I think I will try installing another backend on the weekend (maybe paps?) to see if it is a problem with cups or something wrong with perls/beh.. :s

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.

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?
