HP LaserJet4 connected via JetDirect I connect to network via wireless.
Printing a postscript file via
lpr file.ps
like I've done many times before.
Job stoped partway through. Wireless router locked up. Turned it off for 15 minutes - turned it on, wireless router no longer locked up.
I could not print. When I've had printing problems before - https://127.0.0.1:631
lets me clear the cue and restart the printer. Not this time -
"The connection to 127.0.0.1:631 has terminated unexpectedly. Some data may have been transfered"
This is at the end of cups log:
E [02/Sep/2005:06:49:17 -0700] Bad request line "�g" from localhost!
Tried gnome-cups-monitor. It said it could not find printer. But I can ping it. Power cycled printer. Rebooted. Same results.
Added a new printer - same settings, test page prints fine. Still can not connect via https://127.0.0.1:631
Deleted old printer - STILL can not connect to cups through browser. Restarted cups several times.
What the fudge happened to my cups and how do I fix it? I was not doing didly as root when problem started, it started when wireless router went booboo - something is wedged somewhere in cups that isn't getting unwedged by cups restart, and its not the printer - I can print to it now, I just can't connect to cups via browser.
Help.
I looked at cupsd man page, it doesn't seem to have a general flush command or anything. First problem like this I've had with cups since I bought this printer over 2 years ago.
