missing printers

[hobnoble]

I turned on my computer and all my printers were missing. I am using 10.3.2, and when I go to the print center to add back my printers I get the following error message:

"An error occurred while trying to add the selected printers.

Error 1282"

Can anyone provide any advice to let me print again.

Try this little utility -- it may help you add your printers back:

Do the following to correct this problem;

You must be logged in as an Admin user. Follow these steps:

1. Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/).
2. At the prompt type: cd /var/spool/
3. Press Return.
4. Type: sudo mkdir cups
5. Press Return.
6. Type your Admin user password when prompted, then press Return.
7. Type: sudo chown daemon:admin cups
8. Press Return.
9. Type: sudo chmod 700 cups
10. Press Return.
11. Quit Terminal.
12. Restart the computer.
