Hi;
I login, check my printer_config settings and my HP psc_1310_series printer is check marked as enabled. Open a word processing or text editing program such as Open Office Writer, AbiWord, emacs or gedit and try and print a test page. The test page is put in the queue but no printing. I again check my printer_config; my HP psc_1310_series printer is no longer enabled. If I re-checkmark the enabled box and 'Apply', the printer immediately prints everything in the queue even if I have cancelled all the outstanding jobs.
The fact that you indicate that you are chek marking a printer as enabled leads me to believe you are not using the cups web page to configure your printers. Is that true? If so that is a mistake. Use the web interface ans maybe your troubles will disappear.
I am not using the Cups web page printer setup. I have tried both. George (the system-configure-printer gui) and Cups are supposed to be equivalent in FC6. (system-configure-printer gui is quite a mouthful, so I just call the little printer icon George).
At least that is what I have been told Fedora is striving for. In any case, Cups gives me no joy, in fact it makes things worse by not printing anything ( but I haven't looked into why).
I am baffled.
