My printer stopped printing about a week ago and I have been trying to troubleshoot the problem since, but now I have hit a wall.
Here are the specifics that I have tried so far: - removed the spool directory - removed the printcap files - recreated the printer and started lpd - removed and recreated lp0 with mknod - set ownership of lp0 to root.lp, permissions to 0660 - tested the printer both built in self test and on another machine (works with M$, I am afraid to say) - chnged the addressing and IRQ settings in bios to every possible combination Now, the current symptoms: - at boot, printer is recognised and accessed (beeped) while checking for new hardware - boot up of lpd states no printers defined (both when printer is and is not configured in printtool), when it used to give two paragraphs of information about super io chips, etc. - when attempting to set up in printtool, the printer (Canon BJC-4300) is autodetected along with /dev/lp0 - when attempting to print a test page error message states that there was an error trying to print test page - when trying to access via CUPS client machines, they stall on trying to contact printer, this did not used to happen So, as I say, I am stumped. Can anyone think of anything that I havn't tried? Any interesting responses from ouija boards? Consultations with a medium? A small? I'll try anything at this point. Thanks. Ian.
