Trouble with USB printer - solved
 

Hi, Florian et al.,

I just found your reply (below) on the mailing list archive; for some
reason it was not delivered here. It gave me a good enough clue to fix
the problem. The output of ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/ was

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23077 2008-09-09 09:07 Laserjet1600.ppd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root lp 68634 2007-06-14 20:26 Phaser6300N.ppd

When I chowned the Laserjet ppd root.lp and restarted cups the printer
worked again. Thanks!
