Hi,
I have been having some printer issues for a while. I posted a question about that here, and I was given the very good advice to use my browser (links2) to setup my printer again. All worked perfectly for one day, but then CUPS somehow re-crashed. I cannot print a test page from my localhost:631 because of a 'full quota'. I cannot create a new printer, because of a 'client erorr'. When I try to use KDE's printer config utility, I cannot print a test page either since it 'cannot created a temporary printer'. When I try to skip this and just enter the correct info, I am told the printer cannot be created, client error.
I thought that this might be a persmission issue, but I did my CUPS configs as root, and I tried printing as root also (via sux), but nothing worked 
I tried erasing the printer file and re-create a "new" printer with a different name. I also tried to use a different driver. To no avail.
Anway - I do not have the skills to search and fix the CUPS config (I suppose that this is where the problem is). I know that the hardware works. How do I totally 'shoot' all my CUPS config files (so to also erase all 'quotas' wherever they are) and then re-configure my printer from scratch?
I use a hard disk install of Kanotix 2005-4 and a HP Laserjet 5P.
Thanks for any help!

As I understand it, in order to use your browser to configure your printer (i.e. http://localhost:631), you need these two packages and their depends-- cupsys and swat.
Consequently, I would suggest removing them and reinstalling them.
Code:
# apt-get remove cupsys swat
# apt-get install cupsys swat

I would rather suggest to make us of apt-get --purge remove - just to make sure any "potentially abused" configuration files will be gone as well ...

I only take the time to add to this post becasue it's the second time I have seen this misinformation. You do NOT need SWAT for printing.
What is SWAT?
Code:
apt-cache search swat
swat - Samba Web Administration Tool
If you need to share a printer w/ a windows box then you might want swat but it has nothing to do with printing itself. |

mzilikazi is right. You do not need swat for printing or for using http://localhost:631 in your browser to set up your printer. Removing and reinstalling cupsys is the ticket. |
