10.4: Integrate CUPS 1.2.8 with Mac OS X 10.4.8
Authored by: hello999 on Mar 13, '07 08:12:49PM


I installed cups 1.2.8 (needed to be able to point
to nonstandard ports, and 10.4.8 didn't allow that), and then found this hint.
Now I updated to 10.4.9, and nothing works.
Where would I find the original files for this? (i.e. would you
mind making them available somewhere?) Thanks

I ran into the same problem. I was able to reset the printing environment using the programme Printer Setup Repair (5.05, trial version). Get it from:

10.4.9
Authored by: gerritdewitt on Mar 15, '07 09:54:15AM

Unfortunately, Mac OS X 10.4.9 and Security Update 2007-003 will break any custom CUPS 1.2.8 installation, as they replace cupsd with a 1.1 version. The easiest way to overcome this is to install the appropriate Mac OS X (Server) 10.4.9 update first, then follow the directions in the hint.

If you have already installed CUPS 1.2.8, but have not yet upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4.9, back up the following items:

* /etc/cups
* /System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices
* any customized interface items in /usr/share/doc/cups or /usr/share/cups

Then update to 10.4.9 and re-install CUPS 1.2.8 following the original hint's procedure and using the backed-up files.

same as hello999.
I can't print, nor add printer, nor acces CUPS interface (but the home page) since I updated to 10.4.9
