[QUOTE="schwine, post: 509767, member: 14350"] The problem is centered around the Error 50 message. This error is blocking my ability to install and run the printer. Someone else on another forum had this problem, and the user seems to have partially solved the problem. I've pasted it below. I am particularly interested in this note from the posting: "Rebuild your list by toggling print sharing in System Preferences sheet." I've checked out "system preferences" but I can't find a print sharing window or menu. But as mentioned I have reset my printing system. Here is that posting: Error 50 while trying to add any printer Here's it is verbatim: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer Error:-50" Yes.., I've monkeyed with the files suggested by HP, et. al. Things are greyed out when using Printer Setup Utility that weren't before. update--> My printers.conf and classes.conf are missing, message: "no such file." They weren't even in the cups directory as expected. I guess I either have to reinstall CUPS, or clear out the printer system manually in root? Anyone? update--> These two files are erased by Printer Reset. They are generated by cupsd. You can either use previous copies to restore your printer lists, or in my case reinstall cups. "Rebuild your list by toggling print sharing in System Preferences sheet." I can now add other printers, but still get error -50 I believe due to: "bad line from USB" from my HP printer. What is causing this bad line? I [27/Aug/2007:21:01:40 -0500] System woke from sleep E [27/Aug/2007:21:11:59 -0500] get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/øˇÓ' no good!
