Hooked Claudia’s brother HL-5030 printer, plugged it into my iBook, and tried to print. No drivers! Googled for brother+drivers, downloaded the drivers, installed them, and printed. Worked! Noticed that those were CUPS drivers.
Booted up SlackWare box, tried to figure out how CUPS actually works. Made `/etc/rc.d/rc.cups` executable, ran it with the `start` parameter, looked at http://localhost:631/, didn’t get it, downloaded the drivers for Linux – .deb or .rpm – figured out how to extract the stuff from the .deb file, copied it into my directory tree using *stow*, installed it by looking at the *postinst* script. Looked at http://localhost:631/ again, found the new printer!
Tried to print the test page. Nothing.
Tried to print a PDF file. Nothing.
Everything seems to work except for the printing.
They’re all listed on http://localhost:631/jobs?which_jobs=completed – but the printer didn’t print them.
http://localhost:631/jobs?which_jobs=completed
I think I’m going to cry a little, now.
~ alex $ lpq HL5030 is ready no entries ~ alex $ lpstat -p -d printer HL5030 is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 system default destination: HL5030
When I look at http://localhost:631/printers/HL5030, I see that the device URI is `usb:/dev/usb/lp0`. I tried modifying the printer and choosing different USB devices + printing test pages, but that just resultet in error messages. When I use `lp0`, there are no error messages on the printer page. Thus, the CUPS system seems to know about the printer.
http://localhost:631/printers/HL5030
It’s just the jobs that vanish into nirvana.
The log files in `/var/log/cups` don’t show anything unusual.
The spool seems to know about all the print jobs:
root@confusibombus:/home/alex# ls /var/spool/cups/ c00001 c00004 c00007 c00010 c00013 c00016 c00019 tmp c00002 c00005 c00008 c00011 c00014 c00017 c00020 c00003 c00006 c00009 c00012 c00015 c00018 c00021
The spool itself is considered empty:
root@confusibombus:/home/alex# lpstat -o
Grrrr.
~ alex $ lp bbdb.ps request id is HL5030-24 (1 file(s))
No effect.
USB stuff seems to be ok, too. Notice the printer, here:

Permissions?
~ alex $ ls -l /dev/usb/lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 180, 0 2001-03-25 23:04 /dev/usb/lp0 ~ alex $ groups users bin disk floppy
Maybe that’s it?
root@confusibombus:/home/alex# usermod -G users,bin,disk,floppy,lp alex
Logging out and logging back in had no effect. 🙁
Maybe the cups daemon has a different group?
~ alex $ ps -o pid,group,cmd xa|grep cup 2098 root /usr/sbin/cupsd
I don’t think the cups daemon should have a problem writing anywhere. ;)

Notice how there is no `/dev/usb/lp0` – there’s only `/dev/usb/lp1` and a `/dev/lp0`.
I went back to modify the printer again on http://localhost:631/printers/HL5030 and changed the device type again (picking the first USB printer). I think that’s what it used to be, but I’m ready to try again.
http://localhost:631/printers/HL5030
Strange: Now the printer page says that the device URI is `usb://Brother/HL-5030%20series` – hm, that’s new!
But, unfortunately, still no effect.

It turns out that EricRaymond has written a rant about CUPS on 2006-04-11 – only a few days before I posted my original CUPS story! His opinion? “I eventually had to apply m4d skillz gained from wrestling with sendmail to solve a problem the CUPS documentation never even hinted about.”
