Learned a lot today. Spent 2 hours today working on my printer issue in Linux. After changing the cups config file roughly 15 times I am finally able to print from the console page, but I did have the working after the first change, lol! Me being me decided after I was able to print from the console page to modify the cups config file and enable Kerberos which caused a royal pain in my butt. I wasn't locked out of the console, but I was not able to make changes to the config file from the console, granted I usually do that from the command line anyway. Enabling Kerberos made printing and making changes from the console impossible. So, I tried to change the file for the block of text under Kerberos. 12 + changes later I decided to look at the backup file for the config file that I had fortunately backed up before I first modified it and I was off to the races. In the end I soon discovered in order to turn off Kerberos I had to modify the entry at the top of the file under "DefaultAuthType" and vola it was working again. I am so glad I back up my config files before I modified them . It is worth it. Also learned that the drivers for my printer are deprecated and will probably not work after the next upgrade of cups. Oh well, I will have to cross that bridge when I get to it.
Happy Tuesday 😀
