Hi all,
this is my first posting, so "Hello world!".

I have used till yesterday cups to print on SLAC printers.
At certain point , doing lpstat -a, I got a list of wrong printers. That list has turned to be the one for another guy that has a MAC laptop. My SLAC printers list disappeared. After turning off an option on his laptop (something like "Share printers with other users") my list became empty. Even after a couple of reboots my list is stille empty:

[bomben@g1-mb-29 ~]$ lpstat -a
[bomben@g1-mb-29 ~]$

I think that something have been changed here:

/etc/init.d/cups
etc/cups/cupsd.conf.slac
/etc/cups/printers.conf.slac
/etc/cups/lpoptions.slac

I use SL with a 2.4 kernel.

Thanks a lot in advance!

You can also try using the web-based cups interface, go to http://localhost:631 and you can get documents, and configure printers etc. You will probably need root access.

I would recommend you contact SCS for support, you might even find the right file to download onto your laptop somewhere on the website, although a quick look around seems to only show for lprng... Maybe someone in your group was running CUPS, but it doesn't seem to be site-supported.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was almost ready to reply to myself. The bug was due to a different inet addr. from /sbin/ifconfig. Adding the new one in an OR solved the problem.
