About 6 months ago, I successfully installed my Epson-902a printer/scanner following the instructions in https://kaosx.us/docs/print/
I don't use the printer very often, so I cannot say exactly when it stopped working. I noticed after upgrading the system this morning. The output from sudo pacman -Syu included the following warning:
warning: directory permissions differ on /var/cache/cups/
filesystem: 770 package: 775`
When attempting to print a pdf from Okular, the print job is listed in the Print Queue but marked as "stopped"
The same happens if I try printing the test page from System Settings.
I have checked the hardware. I booted another Linux distro and the printer worked OK.
Is the warning about permissions on /var/cache/cups/ relevant to this problem, and if so what exactly should I do about it. If the warning isn't relevant, what else could be causing the printer to not work in KaOS?
