Re: Printing problem SOLVED

[arne]

Hi,

It was a problem with rights.
I do not know how they were changed.
I could print as root, not as user.
Printing with qpdfview as root worked.
Firefox, Geany, Gimp I started as user, and I could not print with
those.

The solution for my printer with brother_lpdwrapper_HLL2340D was:

/usr/lib/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_HLL2340D is a link to 
/opt/brother/Printers/HLL2340D/cupswrapper/brother_lpdwrapper_HLL2340D

Permissions (octal) should be:

100755

Owner name: root
Group name: root

Thanks!

Re: dvips printing problem: SOLVED!!

 I posted this sometime back and was never able to get a satisfactory

 When I try to print a file using dvips quantum.dvi command, what prints
 out is the following:
 %!PS-Adobe-2.0
 %%Creator: dvips(k) 5.86d Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software
 %%Title: quantum.dvi
 %%Pages: 1
 %%PageOrder: Ascend
 (more header then a page full of misc garbage)
 
 When I go to the www.radicaleye.com page, it says if you are receiving
 the %!PS at the beginning of a file and you don't know how to print it,
 you need to install GhostScript.
 
 When I was running stable the dvips command would print fine. After
 upgrading to woody, I encountered this problem. I tried upgrading to
 sid, but no luck, same problem.
Finally this is working! My solution was to go to install ghostscipt 7.0
using alien and dpkg. Still didn't work so I installed redhat
printtool.. sort of worked, printed a message about no file name at the
top of my letter, then printed the letter correctly. Then I went to the
cups website downloaded the cups .deb package, removed lprng and
apsfilter and installed cups. 
Typed http://localhost:631 in netscape
added a printer on lp

my file quantum.dvi printed properly with the command dvips quantum.dvi

 The problem is coming from the /etc/magicfilter/dj500-filter script.

 I had a look at mine, and the last line is:
 default filter  /usr/bin/djscript -q
 which is the command which you don't have.  This is for printing normal
 text files.  Above this it suggests using something else if you don't
 have djscript.  I don't have djscript myself, so what I have in
 /etc/magicfilter/dj550c-filter (which is the script which I use for my
 printer is:
 default cat \eE\ek2G\e(0N  \eE=== 
 SOLUTION
 This works for me (and I guess does exactly cat text /dev/lpx which
 you previously mentioned was working.
 I suggest you try commenting out the old 'default' line in your
 dj500-filter, and replacing it with this.
 THANKS FOR THE HELP

 PS. anyone know where to get djscript from, or if it is worth using?

Although why one can't use the glimpse engine supposedly provided for

engine, huh?

I'd volunteer to set something like that up on my machine, except
that:
1) I have dynamic IP (and haven't yet gotten my ml.org account)
2) I have only one phone line, and often need it for other purposes.
3) I've only been saving all my incoming mail since about
mid-December, so have a very incomplete archive (though I suppose I
could always run a lynx -traverse and suck down the existing archives)

That I should be studying for qualifying exams is probably another
good reason...

Hmmm...
Actually - I wouldn't really necessarily need a web-accessible copy of 
the archives on my machine, since I could have a search engine just
return links to the archives on debian.org...

Well, it's something to consider when I get back to school in a week 
or two.

Yeah,  that'd make sense to me,  too.  I'd offer to host it if I had the
resources,  but I don't.  The mailing-list-archives are a vault of
information,  but it's like finding a book at the library of congress
without a Card Catalogue.

What's with it is that it's not practical for the people who would need 
it most to set up glimpse (I think, that's on my to do list).

 [..good reasons and interesting ideas snipped..]

Don't let this stop you from fulfilling priorities.

I also thought of setting up a local web based search engine.  On the 
one hand it's a really good idea because searches can be cpu intensive, 
and offloading this task might free the debian developers from 
distractractions which might result if the load became too severe.  On 
the other hand, it would probably take a permanent internet link to be 
feasible, and that's something neither of us have.

 Hmmm...
 Actually - I wouldn't really necessarily need a web-accessible copy of 
 the archives on my machine, since I could have a search engine just

The search I envision would index not merely the subject line, which if 
you've ever tried it is seldom worth the bother, but the body of the 
message. I'm unsure how the search index is updated, so I don't know if 
you'd need to keep all copies locally or not.

I'm a little surprised at the lack of support for a web based search 
utility.  A debian-user web search engine:
1.) Promotes Debian for personal and commercial users.
2.) Reuses existing support resources otherwise only used once.
3.) Saves time for both those who request and offer support.

I appear to have stuck my foot in my mouth.  Sorry about that.  I've

via my nntp server, but I've never used them both together.  I did find 
a few messages posted to linux.debian.users at dejanews, so it's 
possible that it used to be there, but I can't say for sure.  I also 
found the linux.debian.* heirarchy, but debian-users wasn't there.

Would someone in the know please give us the scoop on dejanews and 
debian-users?  If dejanews doesn't have debian-users, why is the rest 
of the debian list heirarchy there?  What would it take to get dejanews 
to carry debian-users?

Printing problem solved

[Carl Fink]

I can print now.

I am not completely sure what I did to fix the problem -- I reran
magicfilterconfig, I reinstalled gs, and I changed the printer defined
by magicfilter from DeskJet 500C to plain DeskJet 500.

I still maintain that the docs for *nix printing are among the worst
I've ever seen . . . and I have learned IBM's JCL from the original
IBM manuals.

(I saw no replies, did my original request for help make it to the
list?)

Even though it takes longer, I've gotten to the point where I want to 
isolate individual issues whenever possible.  This aids me in learning, 
maintaining and troubleshooting.  Of course, when things are fubar, 
that's another story.

So what's your point? :-)  You're not the first person to find that 
help with Linux is often haphazard (although personally I thought 
magicfilter was fairly well documented, and the print related HOWTO's 
were quite helpful).  Future and soon to arrive versions of Linux will 
likely expedite and simplify configuring such things as printers, 
dialup networking, et.al.

 (I saw no replies, did my original request for help make it to the

Oh, it probably did. My experience with Linux has been that there's a 
higher threshhold required by the end-user than some operating systems 
to find and use all the resources which are well distributed. This is 
uncomfortable and time-consuming at first, but it gets better and if 
you want to get anything done, it behooves you to familiarize yourself 
with your resources.  DejaNews (http://www.dejanews.com) searches the 
Debian List, so if you have a question which you think is likely to be 
common (I'd imagine configuring a deskjet is somewhat common), you 
might try searching the list archives there--Debian doesn't have their 
own search engine.  I've found the docs in /usr/doc/* to be real 
helpful.  I often use Filerunner (fr) to seamlessly view zipped 
documents and HOWTO's in X-windows, and I have a script from the 
Tips-HOWTO to view them in console.

In principle, I agree.  When I'm really, really frustrated . . . .

I did search DejaNews.  (There's a promise to have a search engine at
www.debian.org by now, but seemingly it got back-burnered.)  Lots of
articles, none very helpful.

 I've found the docs in /usr/doc/* to be real 
 helpful.

I have too, but in this case they were of zero value.

  I often use Filerunner (fr) to seamlessly view zipped 
 documents and HOWTO's in X-windows, and I have a script from the 
 Tips-HOWTO to view them in console.

I rarely use X unless I have to, I'm a text-mode guy.  I used to use
zless to view them, now I've taken to use Midnight Commander.  It has
some weirdness to it (tagging files is not at all what I'm used to)
but it's very useful.
