Hello, I have a postscript printer HP4000N that is working fine.
All printing works except lp or lpr when sending a plain ascii file, If I print a postscript file with lpr it works fine. So where cups is suppose to automagically convert the ascii file to postscript it fails. It all use to work, but, I'm not sure when it quit working (probably an upgrade to cups. None of my system can print to this ethernet based print, with lpr and a ascii file. Windows can. All other Gentoo printing is fine to this printer(web, kpdf, ghostview etc etc). When I print a test page from (http://localhost:631/ the test page prints just fine. I not sure if its the ppd or foomatic or what is misconfigured. I rebuilt cups and foomatic-db-ppds and that did not do the trick. When I use commands like 'lpr filename <plain ascii text>' it just prints the first line and the pages and pages of blank pages. About every 10th page has a single line across the top of the paper. Both lp and lpr do the same thing. I went thru the cups gui (localhost:631) but everything looks ok...... ideas or suggestions are most welcome. James James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
