I guess I didn't see that, thanks, done.

I haven't made much progress, got side tracked trying to print the .pdf 
and found that there is no known way in wheezy to make a duplex capable 
printer, actually print in duplex mode.  Almost $800 dollars and worthless 
on wheezy. I am asking a few ?? over that on their mailing list as it 
worked perfectly on ubuntu-10.04.4 LTS.

Wheezy is dead stable, but actually getting something done with it is 
almost always a maddening battle of wits.

I have a single sided printout, 88 pages of 24 lb, but IIRC my 3 hole 
punch, a good one, is out in the machine shed where I was last updating my 
LinuxCNC doc's. And its currently +2F & nearly a foot of snow to plow to 
go get it.  And of coarse I'll need to find a 3 ring binder that I can 
recycle to be a nut doc holder. 1 step forward seems to be a 2 step 
backwards in real life.

I don't even know if I am using the correct driver, the ups-scanner seems 
only to exist in my 2.7.2 src tree, but its not installed as its looking 
for a much older libssl than I now have.  And the error messages from an 
attempted start are so generic they aren't a lot of help.  So and so 
didn't start, but no reason why is given.

After mv'ing that file, I still get:
root at coyote:/etc/init.d# ./nut-server start
[ ok ] Starting NUT - power devices information server and drivers:  
(driver(s) failed). upsd.

Why can it not name the failed driver, so I would know to try another?
