Hi,
I have installed cups 1.3.10-3 and am trying to print from a java application (jedit) that runs with OpenJDK 1.5_hg20090429-1.
When I click on "Print", all I get is a message saying "No print service found". Of course CUPS is running and working fine with applications like firefox.
I have seachred around and have found that others are/were having this problem, too, a few yrs ago Nevertheless, I tried the solutions (editing cupds.conf with several options, like commenting out a 'Listen' line, etc.), but I cannot get jedit to print again. This used to work, I am rather sure. What in the world am I doing wrong now?
Thanks for any hints,

Try to use JRE instead of OpenJDK. It is on the repos and should work better/give less problems.

Thanks for the suggestion.
As OpenJDK is the Arch default java interpreter, I would like to know if anybody else is experiencing this problem, and if I should file a bug report.
Kind regards!

Alllright,
this was, as usual, operator error.
Don't have a bogus .cups/lpoptions sitting around in your home.

IIRC, print support is one of the things OpenJDK is still bad at.
If I have my Java right, OpenJDK6 is a completely F/LOSS replacement for the JDK, however, JDK 7 will be fully Free Software and eliminate the need for OpenJDK -- it will be Sun's (Oracle's?) official platform.
So, if the normal JDK, works, use that for now.
EDIT: I has fail.
