Hi.
I have a number of problems printing on Vector Linux 6.0 Standard Edition downloaded a few weeks ago,
Firstly
http://localhost:631 results in "404 File not found". After extensive googling I have found that
http://localhost:631/admin works.
However I have been unable to set up a number of my printers including my Samsung CLP-300 which gives me an error message saying "Could not find a suitable printer!". I have used the PPD's provided by Samsung CD.
I am also trying to run a backend script which had worked previously, but which now simply gives me the error: "/usr/lib/cups/backend/assembly.pl failed". It is, of course, quite possible that the script is at fault, but it does run normally from the command line without error, and in view of the other errors that CUPS is generating, I'm inclined to believe that the fault lies within CUPS or Vector Linux.
Is there a way of ugrading CUPS to a newer version (or, indeed downgrading to an earlier version)?
Nothing in the Error logs appears to give any hint. e.g:
