Thanks


Well I don't know if it's the same problem but my Z53 prints everythere in M9.1 but with the exception of KDE which ends up with a similar sort of error message. In your case I think the message suggests some sort of printer communication problem, mine suggests some sort of file type problem, but in both cases I don't think that the actual message is really saying anything much, other than it's an error message, better look into it.

One simple first step might be to just take some .ps file (post script) any one will do, and open a terminal and do something like,
lpr <nameoffile>.ps and see if anything actually prints off,
if it does it suggests that your printer is connected OK and that the problem is either in the app that created the print job, or in some aspect of spooling or pre spooling(kde for instance has build some sort of pre-spooling setup and recently made some alterations, which doesn't seem to work well, at least for me) but I note noone else seems to reporting the same problem.


If on the otherhand you get nothing with
lpr <nameofpackage>.ps
it suggests to me that maybe you have either a problem with your printer or the way the OS recognises and impliments it's connection. If this is the case I would check ink levels and such like first off , and if they seem Ok, then I think I would delete each entry and rebuild the driver setup again in something like kde CC, or MCC.


I'm not being very specific here, but maybe this is a starting point, since it's necessary to isolate the various aspects of a complicated printer setup in linux, and having isolated the various aspects, attempt to solve them.
