I Open firefox again and go back to printer administration and the printer I just configured is not there, so I configure it again giving it the same name and when I try to print a test page it gives me this error: "Quota limit reached" and printer disappears again from the printer management page again.  Now if I configure another printer with a different name it will print a test page but if I try to print from another application it will not print I just get that same popup window saying "Starting with cups" and if I close firefox and then go back there again the printer is not there.  I'm running the latest cups on the ports tree 1.2.0 and FBSD6.1.

Could you check /var/logs/cups/error_log for errors?  A quick 'grep "^E" 
error_log' will show just the errors, but not what's going on around it.
