cups printer stopped printing locally
Hi,
Since the recent CUPS package (1.3.9-14) upgrade in sid, a Samsung
ML-1740 stopped printing from the local machine. Let me explain.
- I've had 2 printers in my local machine managed through CUPS: the
model above, and a Canon PIXMA MP150. Both printers set up in CUPS to
be shared across my home network, and were working perfectly for
years, printing from any computer in the network. When adding the
Samsung printer to the CUPS server, there wasn't an option for a
driver for this exact model, but the one for ML-1750 worked without
problems. For the Canon printer, I had to install the Gutenprint
drivers (cups-driver-gutenprint) package, to make it work properly.
- Since the upgrade, the Samsung ML-1740 no longer prints from my local
machine, but strangely, it does print from other computers in the
network. The Canon printer continues to print fine from anywhere in
the network.
- Checking the logs, jobs sent to the Samsung ML-1740 from my local
machine don't show any errors, but the server appears to be unable to
determine the number of pages. Below are log entries for a file
printed from local machine, and from another computer in the net:
+------------+------+---------+------+-------+-----------------------+-------+

Does anybody have any idea what may be happening, or see the same
problem with the same printer? I'm copying my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
below, in case it's useful. Thanks in advance.

During the upgrade I chose to rewrite the configuration file, and
diff'ing them:
