<title>CUPS Troubleshooting</title>
|

|

<para>Difficulties with <application>CUPS</application> often lies
|
||||
in permissions. First, double check the &man.devfs.8; permissions
|
||||
as outlined above. Next, check the actual permissions of the
|
||||
devices created in the file system. It is also helpful to make
|
||||
sure your user is a member of the <systemitem class="groupname">cups</systemitem>
|
||||
group. If the permissions check boxes in the Administration
|
||||
section of the <application>CUPS</application> web interface do
|
||||
not seem to be working, another fix might be to manually backup
|
||||
the main <application>CUPS</application> configuration file
|
||||
located at <filename>/usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf</filename> and
|

edit the various configuration options and try different
