Hi,

I have a Redhat 9 box here, and I am trying to get CUPS working on it. I can print from Mozilla locally, but every time I try to print from Samba, the print job seems to get 'lost'.

I looked at /var/log/cups/error_log and I see the following line:

I tried editing the files that the documentation told me to edit, which are /etc/cups/mime.types and /etc/cups/mime.convs to add application/octet-stream. As soon as I restart cupsd, the changes dissapear, and it goes back to how it was before I edited this.

I noticed the same problem while editing cupsd.conf. Does anyone know why it is doing this, and how to fix it?

Thanks,

Try shutting cupsd down, chaging the files, and then starting it.

I have tried that, quite a few times. stop cupsd (verify it is stopped with ps), edit config files, and restart cupsd. every time I restart cups, only certain settings get changed back to how they were. Is there some sort of security in cups that keeps prevents you from setting an 'insecure' setting?

I think that RH's anaconda may be the culprit.
Just a wild guess, though

/me thinks to himself:"Much like windows, really.... Never run a changing system!" :D


Cheers,

I am not too familiar with anaconda. Would you have any idea what I should do to try to get around this?
