wskellenger's Journal: Linux WTFs.

Yesterday, I configured CUPS and had my printer working perfectly under "/dev/usb/lp0".

Today, "/dev/usb/lp0" doesn't exist anymore, I just see "/dev/usb/lp1".

CUPS, which had me printing perfectly yesterday, is now saying that I have a device called /dev/usblp0 (with no slash). No such device exists under /dev.

When I try to reconfigure it as /dev/usb/lp0, it won't let me. So after an hour or two of dicking around, I've stopped the CUPS daemon and removed it from my startup. I'm installing GNOME-PRINT right now to see if that is any better. I see a lot more frustration in various forums.
