permission errors after browser config update
Authored by: daanjj on Aug 27, '02 05:00:21PM
I followed the tip published in this thread, admired the neat browser interface and saw that on my European system, US Legal was still the default page size. I therefore changed this to 'ISO_A4' and then the problems started. Any application, either local on the G4 connected to the printer or remote on the iBook, crashed dramatically as soon as a print command was issued.
I quickly figured that somewhere down the CUPS file trees, a file permission error was introduced. Unfortunately, I could not find the culprit. At the end, I decided to throw away the printer (in the Print Center application) and add it again, and.... my problem was solved!

So: be careful when changing settings from the CUPS browser interface!

(NB: I know you should set the default page size in the 'Preference...' dialog box in the Print Center...)

Daan.
