What do CUPS error messages mean? Or, where can I find out what they mean?
I have recently installed Ubuntu Linux. I have installed my Canon-BJC 265sp printer through CUPS. Or at least it looks as if I have. The CUPS web interface shows:
Description: CANON
Location: Local Printer
Make and Model: Canon BJC-265SP Foomatic/bjc250gs (recommended)
Printer State: processing, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: canon:/dev/lp0
Only, when I tried to print a test page, or anything else, the light on the printer flashes, paper starts feeding - and then nothing happens.
This is the CUPS error log from my last attempt to print:
E [14/Oct/2006:17:23:16 +1000] Creating missing directory "/var/run/cups/certs"

Can anyone tell me what these error messages mean, or where to find out what they mean?
Thanks,
