Cups admin sees it and says its available and ready. All print jobs are shown as aborted. Also how do I turn on the debug level for the logs? Tyson -- the linux Nobie

New cupsd in Mac OS X Version 10.3.3

I've got my laptop set to BrowsePoll our CUPS server here, and it's worked pretty well. Sometimes takes a while to pick up all the printers (our BrowseInterval's a little big maybe, and it seems to only get half the printers at once, so it takes two), but it's OK. Upgraded to 10.3.3, which updated CUPS, and now it doesn't seem to ever pick up the printers on its own. My guess is that since the name of the CUPS server doesn't resolve when cupsd starts (and it never will since we need to authenticate before AirPort will work), it doesn't ever get it. Used to. If I HUP cupsd, it'll get them, but next time I join the network (under a different IP) it seems lost again. Am I just impatient, or did something change? Is this an Apple patch that didn't make it into the new version? Guess I could compile my own cupsd and see if it works better, but students are going to use the stock Apple one obviously. (Getting them to change cupsd.conf is going to be hard enough.) Seems to be OK on machines with fixed IPs that are always on the network, but my PowerBook isn't working. Any ideas? I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can diagnose it better. ab

Laserjet 4200 doesn't print PS

I've stumbled into the following odd situation. I have a Samba/Cups server with about 10 printers configured.The server serves Adobe postscript drivers to all Win clients. The newest printer is a Laserjet 4200. All printers work fine from NT/W2K/Xp except the LJ 4200. That works fine from the cups server as well as numerous other *BSD systems with cups enabled. But when I configure the LJ4200 as network printer on an W2K or XP system and print the test page, I get a nice thick printout of the raw postscript file. In the logs I can see the chain of filters used and have compared to the log entries for printing to a LJ 4100. For the LJ 4200 it is texttops->pstops->backend/socket. But for the LJ4100 from any client it's pstops->pstoraster->rastortohp->backend/socket. In configuring the LJ 4200 in cups, I used the HP supplied PPD. Is that maybe the problem? The printout starts with 4 lines like this @PJL SET RESOLUTION = 600 @PJL SET BITSPERPIXES = 2 @PJL SET ECONMODE = OFF @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT after which the postscript lines start (#!PS-Adobe-3.0......) and ends with -12345-pGA8PuGqszo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx EOJ Are they typical? I havn't seen them before on other text printouts. Maybe I can strip them off with a pre-filter? Any suggestions/wisdom from the trenches?
