I am experiencing horrible (it's Halloween!) problems with my L-M 6.1. I
have been reading the threads on printing problems. I, too, am having
problems.
I am trying to print to an Epson Stylus Color 740 on a Win98 computer
using SMB. It has been working for months with R-H 5.2 and L-M 6.0.
However, when I upgraded to L-M 6.1 it quit working. I did upgrade my
lpr to lpr-0.43-1mdk. I read that that might be a problem, so I
downgraded to lpr-0.38 (the one on the L-M6.1 CD). Didn't fix the
problem.
Here is what is happening: I have my Epson SC740 set up for 3 different
resolutions (360/720/1440) running on lp/lp0/lp1 respectively. I usually
use the 720 resolution on lp0. However, I can no longer print to lp0. If
I use printtool to remove lp0, then remove the queues (rm -Rf
/var/spool/lpd/lp0), then reinstall lp0 using printtool, I can print to
lp0 ONCE, then all subsequent attempts fail. If I look at it with
printqueue, I see a message that says "Warning: no daemon present".
However, I can run "lpd status" and see that lpd is indeed running.
I tried the same sequence of events with lp1. Same problem. Only lp
works. I then changed the filter associated with lp so that it would be
the 720 one rather than the 360 one. That works fine. It's not a problem
with the filter. It is with lp0 or lp1.
Does this make any sense to anyone? Any help that can be offered would
be much appreciated.
Regards,
Pascal
