[OpenIndiana-discuss] [Solved] Re: cups not working?

[Stephan Althaus]

Hello!

After invoking

sudo svcadm disable svc:/application/cups/scheduler
sudo svcadm enable svc:/application/cups/scheduler

tail -f /var/adm/messages

showed a problem with my usb printer:

May  8 20:23:54 dell hp[4775]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] 
prnt/backend/hp.c 824: ERROR: open device failed stat=12: 
hp:/usb/Deskjet_2050_J510_series?serial=CN1771H0JT05QV
May  8 20:23:55 dell svc.startd[9]: [ID 748625 daemon.error] 
application/cups/scheduler:default failed repeatedly: transitioned to 
maintenance (see 'svcs -xv' for details)


  Hmm.
  I don't think that a printer that is not reachable
  should stop the print service..
  What do you think??


I removed this printer, and my wife's pending print job for the other 
(connected network-) printer completed successfully..

Solved.

Thanks for the hints, Predrag!!
