Turns out it was apparmor that was added into the Gutsy version.
Try doing the following:

ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cups /etc/apparmor.d/disable/

/etc/init.d/apparmor restart

This will disable the apparmor profile for cups

I’ve also noticed a problem with printing after the gutsy upgrade.
I use the brightq codehost-config from canon and it worked great
until the gutsy upgrade. Now I can’t get anything to print.

My Brother multifunction (DCP-560CN) works perfectly over the network with Gutsy. Maybe that’s because Brother do such a good job with a) their devices and b) their cross platform drivers.

I cannot recommend Brother devices more - whenever I get asked, I always find a Brother printer/mfd that fits someone’s bill.

It would definitely be an issue with Gutsy, as it just started with Gutsy. I know it worked during the dev cycle flawlessly. Some of the printers that people say work for them, are some that work for me, but have issues at times.

@Shawn S: your issue is one that I have as well. It worked fine with previous releases.

My HP 3200 all-in-one has been great, before and after the Gutsy upgrade. Works flawlessly in Linux, won’t scan to a computer in Windows.

I haven’t had any issues with my HP 1100, or HP 4600 or Cannon IR5200. These all use the HPIJS driver without issue.
