Hi,

I had the same problem. I solved it by:

1) deleting the "AuthType Basic" stuff from the <Limit> entry in
cupsd.conf. Patch is attached. This got rid of the "Resume-Printer:
Unauthorized" error.
2) Modify my installed printer, changing the old usb:/dev/usb/lp0 into
the new format usb://HP/LaserJet%201300
The cupsys postinst should check for such old device entries, or at
least mention it in NEWS.Debian. The error message in the error_log is
totally useless:
E [08/Jun/2006:21:44:29 +0200] PID 28787 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb)
stopped with status 1!
E [08/Jun/2006:21:44:29 +0200] [Job 181] Unable to open USB device
"usb:/dev/usb/lp0": Success

Anyway, now I can print again.


Regards,
  Bastian
