Hello

I updated to new cups (and whole system by emerge world).
Now - except many other problems is cups.

I used cups with usb backend with Samsung ML1610 - it worked fine.
Now it doesn't.

I tried to configure new printer but it's not seen by cups.
I even tried gnome printer manager - the same - there is USB branch
but no printer in it.

And:
darkstar ~ # lsusb
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04e8:3268 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

What to do ? How to install my printer again ?

Thanx

The emerge world has also updated the kernel?

Then you might want to check if the usblp is still loading
correctly. Also see /var/log/messages for any problems with
the loading of modules.

To ensure that my old kernel configuration is used for
the new kernel I always do a copy of the old config file
to the new one in /etc/kernels. This applies only to
genkernel and it is wise to check the used configuration
when compiling the kernel with the genkernel command.

An example:

i) cd /etc/kernels
cp kernel-config-x86-2.6.18-gentoo-r3 kernel-config-x86-2.6.18-gentoo-r4

ii) genkernel --bootsplash --xconfig all

In the kernel configuration GUI check the settings and
save using e.g. the floppy disk icon.

iii) update /boot/grub/grub.conf with e.g. a new entry
for the new kernel (leaving the old as a fallback when
there are boot problems). E.g.:

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,3)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.18-r4
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.18-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/ram0
init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev quiet vga=791
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.18-gentoo-r4

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.18-r3
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.18-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/ram0
init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3
udev quiet vga=791
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.18-gentoo-r3

iv) reboot

v) if you're using ltmodem and/or nvidia and/or vmware then you'll have to
reemerge and reconfigure these, as they depend on the kernel. But that's
unrelated to any printing problems...

Use genkernel --xconfig all otherwise initramfs will not be generated...

Why not configure the option to make the kernel config available through
/proc/config.gz?

Then, before configuring a kernel, do:

cd <kernel tree>
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config

emerge --update world recompiled kernel - but not installed.
Anyway - i use old kernel. lsusb show's printer.
So - the problem is in cups itself....

Ignorance on my part :-)

I did not know of this option but I am going to use it.

Thanks

Not necessarily.

Post the output of lsmod.

Also, re-emerge splix.

I recently upgraded CUPS also - it is totally different. The
webinterface didn't work, the printers didn't work --
You have to do some post-installation.
Best thing redefine your printer (it's not anymore on /usb/lp but ....)
& classes.
