i Karn and Anne;
I failed to input a location; at the moment there is only one location. When I re-set my printer using CUPS:631 last night I input a location, now it seems to work properly. I am really sorry for taking up your time unnecessarily. Working late at night and succumbing to frustration is my only excuse.
That's fascinating. In my experience the location (if you mean what room the printer is in) is irrelevant in configuring the printer. --
You are right. It seems that the problem only comes up at re-boot. I have just tried several different programs in varying order, logging in and out. It seemed to work. Then I tried re-booting and the problem returned. To reiterate:
- I re-boot; login; check the system-configure-printing gui and
CUPS:631. My HP psc-1310-series is enabled and default. 2) I open any of four different applications; create a test page of gobblyguk. 3) I use the print command on the File menu tab. Check that the HPchkconfig cups-config-daemon off
If not restart cups-config-daemon by running: --
psc-1310-series printer is listed and selected. The test page is placed in the printing queue -- but does not print. 4) Recheck the system-configure-printing gui and CUPS:631 and my printer is no longer enabled in the system-configure-printing gui. I re-enable it and the queue prints. 5) The printer continues to print until I re-boot.
(By the way, If you hear in the news that an older man in Ottawa Canada mysteriously drowned in his basement under six feet of paper, would you let the authorities know what I was working on?)
Before you drown try one more thing if you haven't before. Stop cups-config-daemon by running: service cups-config-daemon stop
If that cures things then run : chkconfig cups-config-daemon off
If not restart cups-config-daemon by running: service cups-config-daemon start --
