Hi everyone:
I've got a problem with a printer that I'm supposed to be using. This printer is
connected to my PC through a LAN and I'm
not able to configure my Linux to print through it. The printer works just fine from
other PC's in the same LAN that have
Windows running. I don't think it's a network problem because I've got perfect access
to the LAN and the rest of Internet.
The printer is not directly connected to any computer but to the LAN. This thing has
its own ip address (to which I can ping
normally). The printer is supposed to 'understand' PostScript documents whether they
come from Windows or Linux and it
manages its own printing queue (maybe it's got something similar to Samba in it, I
don't know).
The only thing I know is that I can see documents waiting to be printing and stuck
locally (lpq says that it's sending the
documents to the correct ip address but nothing else...)
Thanks a lot to Dave Mielke and Tony Nugent but their suggestions didn't work...
Details:
-My Linux is Mandrake 6.1 (RedHat compatible)
-The printer is a DANKA/INFOTEC 4352 MF. This model doesn't appear listed on the
available printer models list of the
control-panel, so I have chosen a generic Postscript printer (someone told this should
work)
Control-panel printer configuration:
-Names: lp
-Spool Directory: /var/spool/lpd/lp
-File Limit (0=no limit): 0
-Remote Host: IP address of the printer
-Remote queue: lp (raw doesn't work either)
-Input Filter: *auto*-PostScript
If anyone has any idea...
Thanx a lot.
Later.
