print/cups-base web interface broken & unable to print

[Robert Backhaus]

That port is 'cups-filters', which Beeblebrox already has.

You'll want to check the cups log file. First edit your
local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to enable logging, then try to print. That
will give you a huge amount of entries in the log file, but somewhere there
will be the name of the crashing filter.

If you can't find it, post your logfile somewhere (beware that it may
contain personal information, though), and we'll take a look at it. You can
post it direct to me if you don't want to annoy the list with a large
logfile.
