'automatic printer configuration'
Kłaniam się. Mam kłopoty z instalacją 4.0r0 (etch). Instalacja na 15 identycznych stacjach w/g identycznej procedury: start z krążka, akceptacja proponowanego serwera lustrzanego ftp.pl.debian.org, wybór identycznych elementów (środowisko graficzne, serwer www, serwer plików, baza danych SQL, system podstawowy). Na sześciu spośród piętnastu, pod koniec instalacji (tuż przed instalacją GRUBa, po sygnale sprzątanie..) pojawia się ostrzeżenie: Debian automatic printer configuration! Ten etap instalacji nie powiódł się. Możesz spróbować uruchomić go ponownie lub pominąć i wybrać coś innego. Etap który nie powiódł się: Wybierz i zainstaluj oprogramowanie. Zrobiłem dwie próby: a/ przeszedłem dalej do końca instalując GRUBa. Wszystko startuje, ale przy doinstalowywaniu 'mc' aptitude usuwa pewną ilość zainstalowanych pakietów (różną na różnych stacjach) - czego nie ma gdy instalacja jest poprawna. Wydaje mi się, że świadczy to o błędzie instalacji (w/g aptitude różne rzeczy są zbędne). b/ na jednej stacji ponowiłem instalację oprogramowania wybierając te same elementy. Zakończył bez błędu, ale zgubił ustawione hasło root'a, założonego użytkownika itp. (nie cofałem się do wcześniejszych etapów) Oczywiście mogę sobie poradzić z hasłami, kopiować partycje ze stacji na stację, ale rzecz nie w tym, aby bawić się w chowanego z instalatorem. Przetestowałem pamięci (MemTest) - nic. Kłopoty pojawiły się, gdy uruchomiłem jednoczesną (5-6 szt) instalację, oczywiście z różnych krążków, ale może to jest przypadek (wcześniej podczas dwóch pojedynczych instalacji było OK). Czy ktoś ma jakieś pomysły odnośnie powodów tych kłopotów i co z sensem zrobić? Z podziękowaniem, L. Pańkowski -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

reinstalling has messed up the printer configuration.......
Dear Debianists, I reinstalled Sarge on my machine yet again and have now got it to correctly identify the DVD's and request them when using apt-cdrom add. I am pleased with this. The solution was to load the OS with the CD set I have from the DVD drive (master) not the CD drive. The DVD drive also reads CDs. This set the default drive in the installation to be the DVD. When I used apt-cdrom add to increase the package range it accepted the switch from CDs to the DVDs. Better still it wrote the two new DVD identifier entries into the apt sources.list file. Even better than this when I tried doing apt-get escputil as a test, the OS requested the correct DVD image to look for this file, not one of the dreaded CD images as it had done in the last installation I did, and it correctly found and installed the utility. I think Ihave now escaped from the tyranny of the CDs. But there has been a price for this. I can't seem to configure the printer properly using the foomatic gui. This used to be easy. If you fire it up and do add a printer it prompts you with USB printer Epson D88. It has detected my printer and correctly identified the model. It is an Epson D88. You hit the forward key and it creates a queue name stylus_d88 and location USB Printer #1 and printer description Epson Stylus D88. If you click forward from this you get to choose the printer make and model. It doesn't have an Epson D88 in there as such but Ihave found that clicking on e.g Epson C82 or C86 seems to be good enough in previous installations. If you continue with this it gives you some information about the Stylus C82 printer and tells you it can drive it perfectly. But when you go further it can't find the correct printer driver for it as it used to be able to do automatically. I browsed in the PPD directory in /usr/share/ppd, something I NEVER had to on the many occasions when I successfully configured the printer in previous installations and could not find a driver for any C82 type Stylus printer in the Epson folder. I ended up using a Stylus Color 300 something (not sure what it is driver) but it didn't work... I can send jobs to a printer queue nominally for the D88 but nothing prints. Its as if some printer drivers are missing or somehow the foomatic beastie can't find them as it used to be able to do? Everything else is going good and I am pleased that DVD situation now works as it should do. My next project is to learn to use jigdo. But I can't move on to this if I can't figure out what sort of rat poison has got to the printer config..

CUPS + printer configuration override from clients
Hi there, I Debian (testing) on our server together with Windows and Ubuntu Clients. Since some time my users cannot change from non-duplex to duplex printing. If duplex printing is switched on for a certain printer on the CUPS server the printer will always print double sided no matter if I deactivate duplex printing on the clients printer dialog or not. I have to problem on the Windows as well as on the Linux clients. It was always possible to override the duplex printing configuration on the server by the clients printing dialog. Has anyone an idea what could cause this problem? thanks Eugen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

gui printer configuration
Help please - I'm not sure which package(s) are giving this problem. I had previously tried unsuccessfully to print to my wife's DeskJet 3420 on her Win98SE using her samba share via my samba client. My lack of success might not be significant in the bug reporting sense. So I have acquired a DeskJet 1120c and successfully connected it locally. The driver doesn't sem to be too happy rendering transparency but that's another level of problem. I have successfully used the gui ApplicationsDesktop PreferencesSystem ToolsPrinting to make the 1120c (on the parallel port) my default printer. So I activated the samba printer sharing to make my 1120c available to the rest of the family using load printers = yes The bug I have found is that only the DeskJet 3420 is offered as a share (It isn't even mine!) and there is no DeskJet 1120c shown as one of my shares. /ect/cups/printers.conf still shows the 3420 as default.

If you are using apt-get, my guess is that you need to update /etc/apt/sources.list to use some of the debian repositories. Read the fine manual!

Not bad for a start, with ASCII-only input. The stair-casing is caused by Line Feed and Carriage Return semantics. Have you ever used or seen a mechanical typewriter? Do you know how they have a lever which feeds the line up by one, and also the carriage must be returned to the beginning of the line? Well, the UNIX philosophy is one of interfaces and adapters. Text files are encoded with only \n (LineFeed) as the end-of-line indicator. The printer, and a number of terminals, separate the LF and CR functionality. So, when you stuff a UNIX file _directly_ to the device, the carriage is never returned although lines are fed. Hence the stair-casing. The solution is to filter the abstract data stored in the file and convert to what the device needs. For this the filter is a matter of replacing \n with \r\n. Simple, but needs to be configured per-device because each device can be different in this respect. | But I didn't expect this under a Postscript Printer using Postscript | Drivers.

After all, it's got it's own hard drive and a 233MHz CPU. You do have a server, and it's running. You just haven't told it about any printers. You do that either with the web browser interface I suggested or on the command line with lpadmin. Not going all that well sudo lpadmin -p Kyocera -E -v socket://192.168.0.100 -m Kyocera-FS-1900-Postscript.ppd lpadmin: add-printer failed: server-error-service-unavailable lpadmin: add-printer failed: server-error-service-unavailable lpadmin: add-printer failed: server-error-service-unavailable I'm kind of at a loss because I compared this to another cupsd.conf file I have and they are very similar to each other. -- Old age is always fifteen years old than I am. -- B.

remote printer configuration - cups
I have a printer which runs on a network connection. I scanned for ports and found ports associated with lpd (515), cups (631), and jetdirect (9100?) and was trying to configure a cups client. I installed the following packages: a2ps cupsys-bsd cupsys-client foomatic-bin foomatic-db I tried to set the /etc/cups/client.conf file to include the IP address for the printer. That didn't work. I tried to use foomatic-configure and it complained that there was no printer.conf file. This seems to show up under the cupsys package, but installing that does nothing for me. So I tried configuring it a direct configuration: foomatic-configure -s cups -n remoteraw -c socket://192.168.0.100:631/ foomatic-configure -s cups -D -n remoteraw And nothing, so I removed it and tried: foomatic-configure -s direct -n remoteraw -c socket://192.168.0.100:631/ foomatic-configure -s direct -D -n remoteraw And nothing... -- On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. -- Cartoon caption -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Fire up your web browser and point it at http://localhost:631; and you should see the CUPS admin screen. You want to manage printers, then add a printer. Port 9100 is the default port for JetDirect interfaces. Using the CUPS wizard, after you give the new printer a name, location and description you'll come to the device screen. Choose AppSocket/HP JetDirect. Next you're asked for Device URI. Mine is socket://lj4:9100, where lj4 is the *name* of the printer I input a few screens ago.

In your case try: /usr/lib/lpadmin -p StColor -m stcolor.ppd -v parallel:/dev/lp0 -E This sets up the printer on the first parallel port(lp0) uses the EPSON Stylus Color driver which comes with CUPS and gives the printer the name StColor.

You can then administer the printer using a browser by: http://localhost:631/ Now I have a question, a stupid one of course. When I use the CUPS web interface the first page is displayed OK as http://localhost:631/. If I click on any of the links then the browser tries to load the page by substituting my hostname(cumulus) for localhost. This workstation is behind a firewall so it doesn't have a true domain. /etc/hosts is: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.3 cumulus /etc/hostname is: cumulus 192.168.1.3 is the NIC's static IP. Is the web browser pulling 'cumulus' from /etc/hostname? How do I tell it that 192.168.1.3 and 127.0.0.1 are the same machine?

Printer configuration on debian
What is the preferred way to configure a PostScript printer on debian 2.2? This same printer was most recently configured under SuSE 6.1 using apsfilter. This is my first debian installation and I am bringing it up one resource at a time. So far, I have networking and Internet working. Thanks in advance, Dwight -- Dwight Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Printer configuration on debian - Another question
So, I have my modem running under my debian installation. Thanks to the ones who helped me. Next step (no, it's not an OS): Setting up the printer. I have printtool installed, so I'm able to set my printer up. When I run printtool and click Add, it says: lp0: there's no printer (or something like that). lp1: there's no printer. ... The problem is: The device lp0 is not bound to parport. I recompiled the kernel, installing parport issues (I think auto-detection). In the system initialization, debian gives me the message: parport0: HEWLLET-PACKARD DESKJET 690, or something like that. But when I type the command cat /proc/parport/0/devices, the only thing it says is plip. I think it should be plip lp0, shouldn't it? Or should I remove (how?) plip and bound (how?) lp0?

Re: Printer configuration
I would like to know what I have to do to configure a printer. I need to configurations: 1) A local printer attached to a parallel port. I personally like magicfilter. For a local printer, I think it is as simple as 1. installing the package magicfilter 2. running magicfilterconfig 3. answering the questions it asks. 2) A remote printer that is accesed through a local area network. I don't know how to do network printing. Sorry. I'm sure there is a way to do it though. Hope this helps, Patrick

Re: Slink upgrade broke printer configuration
I'm answering my own query from Saturday 20 March 1999, in case someone else has the same problem (Epson Stylus Color 400 failed after Hamm - Slink upgrade). The problem was the filter /etc/magicfilterstylus_color_720dpi-filter, from magicfilter version 1.2-28. It's good for Ghostscript version 3.33, and possibly 4.03, but not 5.50 which I am running. I replaced the PostScript section of the filter by 0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc.upp -sOutputFile=\|cat 13 - 31 12 -c quit 0 \004%! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc.upp -sOutputFile=\|cat 13 - 31 12 -c quit # PDF 0 %PDFfpipe /usr/bin/gs @stc.upp -sOutputFile=\|cat 13 $FILE 31 12 -c quit using options that I found in a sample gs command at http://eunuchs.org/epson/index.html.. With this change, the filter prints PostScript (formerly, it produced infinite page ejects). There is still a flaw in the printing of text by the final default entry: there is no page eject at the end. It's clear how to write a script using cat to take care of this, but there should be a more elegant solution. Mike O'Donnell

It's clear how to write a script using cat to take care of this, but there should be a more elegant solution. i had this same problem using an Epson Stylus Color 600 with the newest gs/magicfilter: infinite formfeeds when trying to print postscript files. After looking through quite a few docs and printing a few test pages, i determined that the magic filter should be using the stc600pl.upp and stc600p.upp profiles (located in /usr/lib/ghostscript/5.10). For different printers, you'd obviously use different profiles. Besides stc.upp, you may want to try stcany.upp and stc_h.upp with your 400. Also, note that stc.upp is a 360dpi profile, so putting it in stylus_color_720dpi-filter is a little misleading ;) So, i copied stylus_color_360dpi-filter and stylus_color_720dpi-filter to stylus_color600_360dpi-filter and stylus_color600_720dpi-filter, respectively. Then i changed the lines like this: --stylus_color600_360dpi-filter-- # PostScript 0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc600pl.upp -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- - -c quit 0 \004%! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc600pl.upp -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- - -c quit # PDF 0 %PDFfpipe /usr/bin/gs @stc600pl.upp -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- $FILE -c quit --stylus_color600_720dpi-filter-- # PostScript 0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc600p.upp -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- - -c quit 0 \004%! filter /usr/bin/gs @stc600p.upp -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- - -c quit # PDF 0 %PDFfpipe /usr/bin/gs @stc600p.upp -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- $FILE -c quit i had considered filing a bug report, but when i checked the database it looked like someone was already reporting it...
