10.4: Use some PostScript level 1 printers with CUPS
Authored by: byrd on Apr 06, '07 06:39:16PM
As with any printing problem, setting the log level to "debug" and HUPing CUPS will provide loads of information to help troubleshoot.
Would you be so kind as to explain how to set the log level in CUPS and provide a practical example of how to use HUP. MAN tells me builtin commands are commands that can be executed within the running shell's process. How do you do this within CUPS? Thank you for taking the time to explain.this is a problem I've faced a few times.

I wrote some scripts that will turn the 'debug' feature on or off. There is an additional script that will place a copy of the CUPS error_log on your Desktop for easier examination. The scripts will automatically restart the printing services as necessary. The scripts are available here
