Updated to 10.6.8, now I can't print

Have run applejack, reset printing system & reinstalled printer (FujiXerox 5065II with Fiery RIP), but the print Queue just keeps pausing. The error_log gives this: printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed"


Does anyone have a similar problem or found a workaround?


thanks.

I just discovered that with the print sharing on in the computer that that has the direct connection with the printer being shared on the network and in this configuration with certain persons selected, even an administrator, it puts a "no access" on everyone. In this status I get the "paused for authentication" on the print job from any networked computer. see below

When you click the up and down arrow to the right of everyone you get either "no access" or "can print" option.

When the "can print" option is selected all the individual persons added gets droped but at least now I can do a network print job from the other computers and not get the "paused for authenication" problem.
