OK, I tried the same with /usr/share/printer-testpages/testpage-a4.ps. And also with a large postscript file. There were no errors. > This I have done with packages of the current > Cooker.

Then I tried to print a big file with cups, this failed. Next I printed the testfile with "lpr -oraw" which succeeded! And also the "cat testfile > /var/run/ptal-printd/mlc_usb_PSC_2200_Series" still worked, as did the "cat" of the big file. > If this does not work, there is perhaps a kernel problem (which kernel > do you have, do you have a VIA chipset on your motherboard?). > > If this works, re-create your print queue with printerdrake and you > should be able to print. I removed the printer and created it again. All three testpages failed, two aborted and the third "succeeded" without printing. The "cat > .." still worked! Henk. --
