Hi,

I used to get this kind of cups-related error-message, where I have no idea, what the "Unknown Location directive #" would mean:

khazad-dum:/var/log/cups # tail error_log I [29/Mar/2005:08:58:05 +0100] Listening to 0:631 E [29/Mar/2005:08:58:05 +0100] Unknown Location directive # on line 811.

Any advice please, what I'm missing, or what is wrong? I don't know for sure why, but I have seen this a few times. Check line 811 in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and delete the spaces before the hash (#), making sure the hash is on the first line. Then, save the file, restart cups, you should be good to go. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871

I know about it for some time but I also didn't know what caused it unitl I finally found the reason ... it is the YaST function which actually writes changings into config files. For each run of the YaST printer config the above YaST function is called and you get one more leading blank in line 811. Meanwhile it is fixed in YaST but you can simply ignore the error message.
