Hello,

Thanks for listening....

Anyone have any idea on how to troubleshoot the below configuration?

Is this the right place to post this message?

The below message gives me the impression CUPS is unsupported.  Is anyone
supporting CUPS or is the code base dead?

Thanks for listening...

Cheers,
Joel.

The system is a Sun X2100 (AMD Opteron) system running
"Sun Solaris Express Developer Edition 9/07 snv_70b X86".

Cups 1.4svn-r7257 was installed via this method:

bzcat cups-1.4svn-r7257-source.tar.bz2 | tar xpf -
cd cups-1.4svn-r7257
../configure --disable-gssapi -with-smfmanifestdir
make
/bin/su -
cd /export/home/toolbox/Download/cups-1.4svn-r7122
make install
/etc/rc3.d/S81cups start


Gutenprint 5.1.4 was installed via this method:

cd /export/home/toolbox/Download
bzcat gutenprint-5.1.4.tar.bz2 | tar xfp -
cd gutenprint-5.1.4
add "#include <strings.h>" to "./src/cups/rastertoprinter.c"

Printing appears to be going thru this path:

 lp/firefox/etc... ->
 Cups 1.4 ->
 GhostScript 8.61/Ghostscript Fonts 8.11 (pstoraster) ->
 GutenPrint 5.1.4 (rastertogutenprint5.1) ->
 Epson Stylus CX6400

I have monitored the "Print Test Page" via CUPS report level DEBUG
and have resolved any issues that appear to be hanging CUPS,
GhostScript, and/or GutenPrint.  Full error_log is attached.
After that, I have set CUPS report level to INFO.

I have reduced the resolution to Draft to minimize computation
time.  However, after 20+ minutes, the "lpstat -p ink -o ink" output
still shows:

bash-3.00$ lpstat -p ink -o ink
printer ink now printing ink-26.  enabled since Mon Jan 21 23:37:58 2008
     Gutenprint Printing page 1, 12%
ink-26                  guest            17408   Mon Jan 21 23:37:58 2008
bash-3.00$

The only output going to the CUPS error log are the following every 70-71
seconds if I am monioring the servers at "http://localhost:631/printers/ink":
