Hi Everyone...and HELP!
First of all the http://localhost:631/admin/ site steadfastly refuses to
accept my login, as either user or root, using the system password.
However, I was able to install a printer in administrator's mode in
KDE. But, I am unable to print either a test page, or anything else for
that matter. BTW, I am running FreeBSD 6.2. I'm pretty sure that cups
is running because of...
~ [22:14:44] > ps aux | grep cupsd
root 874 0.0 0.3 4336 2796 ?? Ss 9:08PM 0:07.17
/usr/local/sbin/cupsd
root 938 0.0 0.3 4380 3024 ?? Is 9:08PM 0:14.09
/usr/local/sbin/cupsd
root 23129 0.0 0.1 1592 1040 p1 S+ 10:15PM 0:00.00 grep cupsd
All of the old installation info that I have refers to changing the file
cups.sh.sample to cups.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Neither of those
files exists on my system. Perhaps the newer versions of cups do not
rely on those files anymore. I have disabled the base system's lp, lpr,
lpd, etc, so they do not conflict with the cup's commands of the same name.
I have cups-base-1.2.12 installed on my system, and any help in getting
me up and printing would be much appreciated.
