A fix for error 1282 when adding a printer
Authored by: macdaffy on Jan 31, '04 09:53:53PM

I just resolved my long battle with the 1282 printing error. I kept trying the "rm -R mkdir..." fix to no avail. I then referred to the configuration on a working machine and found that the following files were missing from the ~/etc/cups directory:

cupsd.conf
printers.conf
cupsd.conf.bak
printers.conf.bak
cupsd.conf.old

I booted into Classic on both machines, burned the files onto a CD and transferred them. Worked like a charm. The .bak and .old files probably aren't necessary, but the other two are critical.
