Hi Florian,

what does your /etc/cups directory look like? On my system, it contains
the following entries:

  # ls -l /etc/cups
  total 16
  -rw------- 1 root lp    128 Jan 11 22:16 classes.conf
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   88 Jan 18 18:35 gstoraster.convs -> /nix/store/dwwad9gy081xqg310gmwr5n7a5h53pag-ghostscript-9.04.1/etc/cups/gstoraster.convs
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp   4096 Jan 11 22:16 ppd
  -rw------- 1 root lp    589 Jan 12 00:28 printers.conf

"printers.conf", "classes.conf", and "ppd" are maintained by the CUPS
daemon -- Nix doesn't touch them. Do those files exist on your machine?

Take care,
Peter
