Clicking the green start unleashed it. That button changed color, and now says stop printer. I wonder how and why it got stopped in the first place?
Many things. Program error, internal printer error, cables... the software stops the printer and waits till you tell it to go ahead again. It is safer that keep trying, and perhaps jamming paper or who knows.
"lpstat -a" will show you your entire list of printers with their status. And the name you have to feed other commands; for example, there is "cupsenable" (previously named "enable", I think) which is used to re-activate a printer.
normal accepting requests since Mon Sep 1 11:23:21 2008
Note there's no mention of stopped status. :-(
Well, as it is working now, it wouldn't say.
There is a log.
Most of the cupsd.conf and /var/log/cups is at: http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/CUPS/
Last entry in page_log is Sep 1 2008, so that must be about the time it broke, or I first discovered it was broken. First error in the log that date is "Broken pipe", which hasn't happened since. Now I see on that date in the full error_log /usr/lib/cups/backend/socket stopped.
That was the error.
What I don't see is on http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell a command line method to start it. :-( Is there a way? It doesn't look like lpadmin can.
cupsenable (aka enable on some old opensuse version, or perhaps accept). Forget looking at lpadmin, that's different. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
