Make sure the CUPS printer and client are same version.
Please write your hardware specs in your signature.
Thank you for that link! Alas, this doesn't address MY problem: since I have not tweaked UE3.8 in any way (default install from DVD), the problem's cause must lie deeper, imho ...
SYNAPTICS shows the following versions:
cups ... 1.6.2-1ubuntu5 ... Note: not installed
(same version for cups-client, -common, -daemon) ... Note: not installed
hplip-cups & printer-driver-hpcups ... 3.13.3-1ubuntu0.1 ... Note: not installed
Installation of cups utterly fails, and so does printer discovery due to "Printing service not available. Start this service on this computer or connect to another server." Attempting to start this service fails due to "Service framework not available". My take: Linux' printing-subsytem (by whatever monicker it goes) is either not installed, incomplete, or broken.
For me, this is (sadly) a show stopper. Question: did this get beta-tested, and if it passed, what changed between the beta and final release?
