Title: (solved) cups not working anymore due to new bash?
Post by: michaa7 on 2014/09/26, 18:08:15
I cannot print anymore. Two days ago no problem. Now nothing, no error, I see it in cups administration without error, too.

While reading about bash vulnerabilities I came across some posting where it says that maybe cups won't work after bash update.

Now, anyone here with bash  4.3-9.2 and cups (not) working?

Any other suggestion how to get cups to work agian is appreciated, too.

Thanks piper, the diva works here again.

It seems if you first forgot to switch on the printer it won't print after you switched it on. It will print neither after you now switched it on, went to Cups administration to delete manually all jobs. The diva still isn't satisfied. She waits for a test page (It must be the one millionth test page I was forced to print; I think printer vendors make big part of the revenue by forcing users to print test pages), But don't try to print a test page before you deleted all jobs, the test won't bypass waiting test-jobs you sent in the meantime. And don't expect any usefull info about why the diva is sulky.
