[KLUG Members] CUPS inaccessible/XSane error

[Peter Bart]

Hello All,
	After a recent kernel upgrade I was unable to print from any
application, unable to access the CUPS utility via
<http://localhost:631>, and unable to access the scanner. What I did
after a little research was issue "cupsd" from a root shell which
solved the printing problem. For the scanner I ended up reinstalling
the driver from Brother and as part of the directions I issued the
following from a shell:

$ umount /proc/bus/usb
$ mount /proc/bus/usb
$ mknod -m 666 /dev/usbscanner c 180 48

Now I understand "cupsd" to start the CUPS what?? or am I taking the
man page wrong?

> COMPATIBILITY
>        cupsd implements all of the required IPP/1.1 attributes and operations.
>        It also implements several CUPS-specific administration operations.

So my actual question is this, all I did was unmount and remount the
usb device (printer) and restart CUPS and that solved my problem?

Peter
