[SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
I have installed my cannon mg5200 printer both via network and USB. Both seem to exist just fine on CUPS... I even printed a test page via CUPS web interface... but when I go to system-config-printer I get an error: "Printing service not available. Start the service on this computer or connect to another server". When I connect, I get the error: "There was an error during CUPS operation: 'failed to connect to server'" and any program I try to print from only gives me the "print to file" option. The latest updates have really left me scratching my head about Gnome3... I really feel like I'm using a test repo. I've had small glitches before, but lately has been one glitch after another... and usually big in nature. Sincerely not liking Gnome3 (even if all I'm using is libs and plugins vs the whole desktop)...
EDIT: The final step to all of this was removing the printer from cups/system-config-printer, rebooting and installing the printer via system-config-printer again. I am currently printing through the network. Currently running on cups-usblp, gutenprint and ghostscript-svn.

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
i've just reinstalled my epson printer and found i had to rebuild cups-usblp from aur as epson needs the package to discover the printer then it was plain sailing you may have a permissions problem.

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
Can you print from the command line? Check your default printer with lpstat -p -d and change it (if needed) with lpoptions -d *printer* . Create a small sample *.txt file and try to print it with lp *filename* . Also make sure you are a member of the lp group.

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
usblp and CUPS have been in conflict for a long time for some printer vendors, like Epson for instance. rmmod the usblp module and see if that helps. If so, disable it in the MODULES array in rc.conf.

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
ok, I've tried reinstalling the printer drivers, CUPS, gutenprint, system-config-printer, foomatic and everything in between... I just don't see why this is not working (and it's come at a BAD time as I have business cards to print out for a client)... Quickly learning to dislike Gnome3

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
Run netstat -a and post the output. It should show a listening socket for cups.

@mandog:
any option to add printer via system-config-printer is greyed out until I connect to the server... I can add a printer via cups all day long, but it's still not being recognized by the actual system. There seems to be a disconnect somewhere between CUPS and the actual system...

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
That's because the system uses cups through a socket. Do you start cups at boot time?

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
at the moment, I do not... I don't always use a printer on this system, so I have only started CUPS when I needed to... which had been fine for a while now... possibly not so much anymore... will add it to rc.conf and see if that changes things...
EDIT: if that fails, will try cups-usblp from AUR to see if that makes a difference...

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
Put it in the $DAEMONS array, it doesn't matter if your printer is not always plugged in, the socket needs to be available to the system.

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
putting cups in rc.conf didn't seem to help... cups is still "on, but disconnected"... this is the output from the error log in the CUPS web interface:
E [15/May/2011:02:10:40 -0500] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported
E [15/May/2011:11:40:34 -0500] cupsdAuthorize: Empty Basic password!system-config-printer still gives me the same error...
not quite sure what's missing, but will reboot with printer plugged in to see if it makes a difference...

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
so close... and yet so far...
cups-usblp fixed the initial "disconnect" syndrome, but now I've hit the next bump in the road... attempted to print something via glabels and got this error message in CUPS web interface:
...
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops failed"
...where do I go from here?
EDIT: sorry about the multiple posts back to back... I post a new thing everytime I have something to say and don't think about editing my old post... will work on that habit, as I know it breaks forum rules...
Didn't even dawn on me till right after I hit the send button on this last one...

Re: [SOLVED] Printers installed, seen by CUPS, but not actually recognized
I just freshly installed the printer via system-config-printer after I installed the new cups-usblp... so you mean I need to reinstall the driver from AUR?
Printer is paused and gives this issue now:

Does system assign cups a socket now? What's the point of pstoraster?
