LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] CUPS Server Error

I've tried a few things and here is what I've found:
output from commands:

Code:

svcs -vx svc:/application/cups/scheduler:default

svc:/application/cups/scheduler:default (CUPS Print Spooler)

 State: maintenance since June 17, 2015 01:01:06 PM CDT

Reason: Restarting too quickly.

  See: /var/svc/log/application-cups-scheduler:default.log

Impact: This service is not running.

Also, I've found a few web pages, however the commands they list don't all work for some reason or other. There were a couple of pages including Dan Anderson's Blog, but they are Solaris 10, and both say to load the companion CD which came w/version 10. Shortly after installing 11.2, I tried to get the repositories up and running, and it crapped out after several GB downloaded. I suspect it had something to do w/not enough disk space, but it could simply be my ignorance of the system. I have the 4 giant files downloaded that make up the repository. If I could figure out how to put them together and make them available that might help. Currently, they're on an external HDD formatted NTFS.

Also, sometime earlier, I had tried to set the printer up through the network, and I found a config file that listed the address, so what I did got recorded somewhere. When I boot the system, the printer kicks out a blank page, and the front panel says, "Printing" even though I'm not printing anything. Since I can't get to the queue -- if there is one setup -- I don't know if there was something I tried to print earlier that is still trying to get out.

And I issued a command with the -t parameter for test, and it told me there were errors in printers.conf which looks like this:

Code:

# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the

# /etc/cups/printers.conf file.  All changes to this file

# will be lost.

I read through the printers.conf man page, but that didn't really make sense to me. I looked for an "example" printers.conf for Solaris 11, but nothing there.
I suspect that I messed something up when I tried to setup the printer originally. I *hoped* that it would be almost as simple as in Windows, but alas, Solaris is Unix, and that was not to be.
When I try to ping the printer, ping says, unknown address family. The Solaris box is on a router that is in the 10.x.x.x range, and that router is connected directly to the router/modem which is on 192.x.x.x. But Windows seems to find the printer through the 10.... router. Would it be easier to install CUPS, and reinstall? (I tried to uninstall through the Package Manager, but it complained. Now that I think about it, it might be because I didn't think to stop the cupsd. Thanks for your help.
