[SOLVED] Connection to CUPS Server: Yes. But printer not printing.

[Grandebasta]

Hello.
A week ago, I installed a application written in Java, which caused me such problems to the system, that I had to reinstall it, and not install that application, for the moment.

Then I missconfigured the settings of my printer server, and had to get a new default cupsd.conf file, to get connected again with the printer server.

I deleted all the old cupsd.conf files, and got a sample configuration file for the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) (cupsd.conf file) from the Internet.

Then did this from the console:

root@MM6:~# grep -v '^#' /etc/cups/cupsd.conf |strings
ServerName 127.0.0.1
LogLevel info
ConfigFilePerm 0644

I had installed the printer by the KDE-"Add Printer Wizard", and I can see, that it is all like before, before, I lost connection to the printer server.
So I am going from there again.

The printers.conf file shows:

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.2.7
# Written by cupsd on 2008-08-09 21:21
<Printer Lexmark_E350d_Apricot>

</Printer>


I am on the CUPS website:
http://localhost:631/printers/Lexmark_E350d_Apricot

And seeing, if I can get my printer working, with some help and information, from there.

The output is:

Description: Lexmark Lexmark E350d - en
Location: home_office_Apricot
Make and Model: Local System V Printer
Printer State: stopped, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: parallel:/dev/lp0

The error message is:

Lexmark_E350d_Apricot "Unable to open parallel port device file "/dev/lp0": Permission denied"

Via Properties/Permissions, I made that file /dev/lp0 "executable". It is a empty file.
No progress, though...

User of /dev/lp0 is root, and Group is lp.


The problem is, that the print jobs do not get printed, and that they get queued in a job-folder.

The state of the print jobs stay pending.
.
My operation system is SimplyMepis 7.0, which is based on Debian.
It has KDE 3.5 as the KMenu.

Please help me get my printer to print again.

Thank you.


Edit:
I complemented this out, on the printers.conf file:
OpPolicy default
#ErrorPolicy stop-printer
</Printer>

Edit:
I reinstalled the operation system, and the printer.

The printer is printing again.
