Printers Fixed, Maybe
It was the last batch of CUPS updates that killed my Eltron printers on the network. I had to re-add them, and the printer on the production machine didn’t want to cooperate. I gave up on using http://localhost:631 to add it and used the command line
lpadmin -p Eltron1 -v http://192.168.1.15:631/printers/Eltron1
and then throw in a
cupsenable Eltron1 cupsaccept Eltron1
For some reason using the web interface kept pointing the URI to file:///dev/null. Which can be correct, depending on how you install the printer. It does make it look broken, though, when you check the status.
Also a big help: lpstat -t that tells you everything you need to know about your lp status.
