    Well, I broke my printing somehow. Here is a relative slice from the
    cups error_log

    It appears to die in the process of processing the job to send it to the
    printer. I have been working (off and on) for 3 days on this and
    haven't figured it out.

    History: I have a heavily updated/modified 8.2. I am running 2.6.2
    kernel, kde 3.2, cups 1.1.20. It has been working fine. Last week, I
    updated from 2.6.1 to 2.6.2, kde from 3.1.5 to 3.2, as well as a few
    other packages. I have checked and cannot see any suspect package.
    Every type of job I have tried fails (i.e. pdf from Acrobat, Mozilla
    printing through Kprinter and directly, command line, etc.). Besides
    checking through all the packages, I have built and upgraded the
    foomatic-filters package to the latest from linuxprinting.org, which
    changed the error message but still no go. I have tried booting back to
    2.6.1, but printing still doesn't work, so I believe that clears the
    kernel (which is working really well BTW). I believe trying from the
    command line clears KDE 3.2, and IIANM, printing was still working after
    I upgraded to 3.2. The pertinent error log from the previous
    foomatic-rip was

    I have (because of the error message above) ran fonts-config -f but
    still no change. Any ideas where to start to look. TIA for any help,
    advice, etc. This one has me stumped. :-(
