Re: [tlug] Printer Not Responding



I just discovered a new error message in the CUPS web interface. I got the error by doing this:

First I tried to print a test page. It shows the job as complete. The printer does nothing. I then click to reprint the job, and CUPS displays a page which says only this:

Error
client-error-not-possible

By searching on the net, I found a page that suggested the problem was a missing package called gs-esp. However, I used apt-get, and it turned out that I already had it, so that was a dead end. But the same page reminded me of the CUPS error log. Here's what a tail of that log reveals:

dave@example.com:/etc/cups$ tail /var/log/cups/error_log

I then tried looking up the error "No authentication data provided", but hit a wall. On the cups.org web site, it had a list of twelve possible problems, but I'm a little lost as to narrow them down:
http://www.cups.org/articles.php?L291+I0+TFAQ+P1+Q

Is there anything here which may help shed light on the problem?
