The entries in the "Add Printer" display will have nothing to do with whether the Brother drivers are installed. They will be to do with the URIs discovered and given on the second page of the CUPS web interface. The job not getting to the printer is probably a URI issue.

All you have to do is 'mkdir /var/spool/lpd/' because it is this directory the lpr package is looking for. But it is not needed anyway.

LC_ALL=C apt-get whatever or, if you're in a csh/tcsh shell, or if you're using sudo: env LC_ALL=C apt-get whatever This is better than translating yourself, because the exact wording of the "C" locale messages is extremely well known, and will convey information to those reading your mail. In particular, there is a big difference between the messages "Permission denied" (errno 13) and "Operation not permitted" (errno 1).

It doesn't let me delete the erroneous path to the CP125 in addition to not detecting the correct path. I ran the lpadmin command and CP1215 is now showing in my list of printers on my workstation. However it still isn't printing. After a second, I remembered that is because I had to unplug the printer to set up a temporary powerline networking connection to my server yesterday (I'm finally getting around to replacing the last of my CAT-5 cable with CAT-6 and having an issue with pulling a line to this particular room). This had nothing to do with my earlier issue however. Anyway, hopefully a new CUPS update will get things working soon. Thanks.
Can't print: /var/spool/lpd
Hi, I'm having an issue with a Brother HL-3150CDN printer on Debian Testing. The printer functions with the drivers CUPS offers by default, but the official Brother's drivers has some options that I need to work with the equipment. I was able to install these drivers some time ago, but now they didn't seem to work. The two file to install are: hl3150cdnlpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb hl3150cdncupswrapper-1.1.4-0.i386.deb Both for 32-bits, so, I did the: $ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 $ sudo apt-get update And then used apt-get to install them. The packages get installed but didn't seem to send the data to the printer at printing time. Any idea how to diagnose this? The only error I'd saw until now is when I install the lpr package: $ sudo apt-get install ./hl3150cdnlpr-1.1.2-1.i386.deb (...) mkdir: no se puede crear el directorio «/var/spool/lpd/hl3150cdn»: No existe el fichero o el directorio chown: no se puede acceder a '/var/spool/lpd/hl3150cdn': No existe el fichero o el directorio chgrp: no se puede acceder a '/var/spool/lpd/hl3150cdn': No existe el fichero o el directorio chmod: no se puede acceder a '/var/spool/lpd/hl3150cdn': No existe el fichero o el directorio Any hint what could/should I do?

Can't print to CUPS printer on my server
I'm running Debian/Bullseye on my workstation and Debian/Buster on my server. I have an old HP CP-1215 color laserjet attached to the server by a USB cable. I can print a CUPS test page from the server but not from my workstation. When I try to print anything from my workstation to that printer, I get /"No suitable destination host found by cups-browsed."/ I've deleted and re-added the printer on the server and rebooted my workstation but I still get the same problem. The printer is using the foomatic drivers. CUPS reports that it is 2.3.3op1 on my workstation and 2.2.10 on my server. //

Secondly: avahi-daemon, cups-browsed and, more importantly, cupsd become redundant and unused. They may as well be purged from the client. How does the client get to know the printer's attributes? That can be done at present, even though printing does not take place. -- Brian.

I've been following this thread with some interest because my up-to-date sid has been having the same symptoms for some time, and I'd been unable to figure it out. Until today?

Re: lp/lpr can't print from cups client
I'm not getting any logs from the local cups-client, but the remote server is logging the following when I attempt to print (see previous post): 192.168.101.103 - - [21/Jun/2009:02:20:49 -0700] POST / HTTP/1.1 400 0 - - 192.168.101.103 - - [21/Jun/2009:02:20:49 -0700] POST /printers/hpoj HTTP/1.1 400 0 - - So the server is definitely receiving the communication, and rejecting it as malformed somehow. That's pretty non-specific, though, and unless it's a configuration issue then it's definitely a bug that needs to be filed against the version of cups in stable. Any ideas about where to go from this point? -- Oh, look: rocks! -- Doctor Who, Destiny of the Daleks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Can't print web pages correctly
Hi, I'm currently using testing and I have this problem that regardless of the web browser (Mozilla based, Opera, Konqueror), pages are printed with the wrong orientation. If I print them in portrait, they come out landscape. but obviously with the bottom part of the page cut off. If I print then landscape they come out in portrait mode (upside down to normal) but now it loses the ends of each line. Open office works fine in printing html pages. If I print to a file they come out OK. Printing the postscript file with evince is fine, but it's a pain taking two steps to do what should be one step. No other type of application, as far as I know, has this kind of consistent printing problem. I'm using CUPS. Does anyone know how to correct this? -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!

Can't print Japanese pdf files generated with `platex' and `dvipdfmx'
Hi,
After installing all kind of packages on my Debian edge system and
following all kind of howtos I found on the net, I am finally able
to generate and view Japanese pdf files using kpdf (I was not able
to make evince display the file and therefore installed kpdf).
But still my printer will not print anything (neither from kpdf nor
when using kprinter) and just signals an Error...
What can I do?
Printer: HP PhotoSmart 2575a All-in-One
Driver: HPLIP 1.6.10 ( http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ )
Thanks, Dietrich
Some notes:
* ~/.xpdfr
In order to make kpdf work, I installed xpdf-japanese and created
the file ~/.xpdfrc containing the line `include /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc'.
(I followed the indications on page
http://debian.fam.cx/index.php?Japanese )
In the latter file all kind of fonts are described:
...
displayFontT1 Times-Roman /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021003l.pfb
displayFontT1 Times-Italic /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021023l.pfb
...
Do I have to do something similar to make the printer driver know about
the necessary fonts?
* my test file:
echo '---'; cat neko.tex; echo '---'

gnome apps can't print, everything else can
Hello! I have developed a problem with my gnome printing system. I am using cups with a samsung ml1520 + unstable amd64. The problem is that gnome apps can no longer print for some reason. They generate a job on the printer (according to cups) but this job is dispatched instantly without being actually printed. firefox, openoffice and kpdf can print. Evince cannot print and the gnome print centre cannot print a test page, even though it sees the printer. Apps that use lpr seem to fail too, e.g. gv. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lpr lpr: Error - no default destination available. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/printcap # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost. lp|Samsung ML-1520 Series (SPL II):rm=hyde:rp=lp: Could this be related to my gnome printing problem? Seems not since these lpr apps do not generate a print job in the log, unlike the gnome apps.

Nothing I have tried can use that printer, except for the

then use the GNOME tool to view the file and print it.
It thought it queued up the print job, but nothing

Thanks for the helpful hint. But this printer works just fine
when we boot from Knoppix or Kanotix, so I have to believe that
it's a configuration problem on the Debian side. But I'll definitely
give it a try.

Can't print a PDF file
I know little about PDF and/or Postscript. I'm looking for pointers for where to seek help (perhaps a list or someone that know pdf/postscript). I'm running an up to date Sid installation. I use CUPS for printing. Printing PDFs normally works fine. I received a PDF that I'm suppose to print out and fill in the form. One feature is that some of the fields are already filled in -- as if they did some type of merge to pre-fill in a few of the fields with my specific info. The basic problem is I can't print the PDF. - Xpdf displays the pdf correctly with my personal info displayed on the form. - gv displays the form without the personal info displayed. It generates the following error: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- %array_continue --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push --nostringval-- %loop_continue --nostringval-- %finish_show --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 4 8 1 --nostringval-- (bbox_text_enum) %op_show_continue --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1053/1417(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:73/200(L)-- --dict:97/127(ro)(G)-- --dict:229/230(ro)(G)-- --dict:19/24(L)-- --dict:4/6(L)-- --dict:24/31(L)-- --dict:12/16(ro)(L)-- Current allocation mode is local ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 - gs displays the form for an instant and then aborts with the same message. - Printing with CUPS makes my HP non-postscript printer's light flash a few times then nothing prints. - Using Xpdf to print to file generates a postscript file. I get the same behavior trying to display it in gv or gs. - acroread displays the form correctly but when sending to the printer it also make the light flash a few times then nothing happens. Acroread does warn that the PDF contains features not supported in that version of acroread (which is the most current version available for linux). I'd like to figure out why it's failing. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can't print from woody: HPDJ 670C, gs 6.53-3, magicfilter 1.2-53
Greetings, all. I'm having serious trouble printing postscript files from my Woody system. I've got a HPDJ 670c, and I'm running gs 6.53-3 and magicfilter 1.2-53. (This, of course, applies to printing anything that goes through PostScript, like PDF.) I'm using lprng 3.8.10-1. The actual behavior varies somewhat: at best, I'll get one or two lines of good output, then the printer starts making these *horrible* noises, like it's trying to move the print head way off the end of the track and stripping the motor in the process, then spit out the page. It'll suck in a new page, then either spit it out blank or spit it out with two or three lines of gibberish on it. Repeat until I yank the power cord (hitting the power button doesn't help; the printer gets seriously wedged.) Printing ASCII works fine, as does printing PostScript PDF from Windows. /etc/printcap (generated by magicfilterconfig): lp|hpdj670c-m|HP DeskJet 670C (mono):\ :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hpdj670c-m:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/etc/magicfilter/dj670c-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: /etc/magicfilter/dj670c-filter is as installed by the magicfilter package. To print, I'm using the command dvips -Phpdj670c-m specs.dvi The relevant dvips configuration file follows: M hpdj D 2602 X 2602 Y 2602 o |lpr -Phpdj670c-m O 0in,1.54cm I've also tried gs-aladdin, and lpr 2000.05.07-4.2. Neither helps. This used to work, several months ago. I don't keep very careful records of what I change on my system, though, so I can't say exactly what broke it. (I was running testing, though, when I first noticed the problem. I downgraded to stable a while back, in an attempt to fix this and also some truetype font issues. This is the first time I've tried printing since the downgrade.) Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks, Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

can't print euro symbol in text files
that's not a question about displaying euro. I perfecly see the euro symbol both in console and X and my locale (iso-8859-15) is ok. I'm using sarge and I print with cups with my hp930c deskjet (using dj670 cupsomatic ppd driver). everything works great but I can't print the euro symbol (¤) in text files using lp. example: echo euro test ¤ | lp prints euro test and the strange currency symbol (like the o letter with 4 pins) but no euro. If I create a file (echo euro test ¤ print-test), open it with galeon and print it it works even if Galeon prints via the same command (lp)!!! I have no idea about how to fix this problem. I've searched google but found nothing. I tried setting cups charset to iso-8859-15 and language to it (italy) but without succes. anybody would give me some hints? thanks -- Leonardo Canducci - [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key ID: 429683DA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

HP DeskJet 632C - can't print
Ever since I've been a system administrator, I've hated printing under UNIX. Some things will probably never change. I have a new 632C, and I can't get anything to work. I have investigated the hpijs driver; it seems to be integrated into gs (probably violating HP's non-free license, but that's a topic for a different list), but no luck. I added the appropriate printer description into lprngtool's database, configured a printer via that tool, and put the hpijs binary in /usr/bin; still no luck. I tried running gs manually: gs -sDeviceName=DJ6xxPhoto -sDEVICE=hpijs ~/input.ps /tmp/pcl GNU Ghostscript 6.51: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 When I strace the running lpd (I have the latest lprng package), I don't see gs exec'd. I freely admit, I'm an idiot when it comes to all aspects of printing. If there's anyone who has gotten hpijs to work, or gotten any recent HP DeskJet model working, I'd appreciate any advice. -John Daily [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AbiWord: can't print/preview, characters as blocks ([][][][])
I'm encountering the following problem with AbiWord under Woody (Version: 0.9.0-0.1). While on-screen display is fine while editing a document, when I print, print preview, or print to file (create a .ps file), all text is rendered as blocks, looking something like: [][][] [][] [][][] [][][][] [] [][][] [][][] [][] [][][] [][] [][][][] [] [][] [][] [] [][] [][][] [][] [][][] [][][] [][][] [][][][][] [][][][] [][][][] [][] [] [][][] [] [] [][][] [][][][][] [][] [][] [] [] [][][] [][] [] [][][][] [] ...which might be considered asthetically pleasing, but has a rather low s/n value. The seems to be related to a number of currently outstanding AbiWord bugs, including: - #109580: abiword: font error - #59267: abiword: Abiword borks with a font error on remote displays - #64365: abiword doesn't find font and doesn't start One attempted solution is to add the line FontPath /usr/share/abisuite/fonts/ ...to /etc/X11/XF8Config-4, as suggested in #109580. (Note that 'abisuite' should be lowercased, rather than MixCase, as in the bug report). However, this has no apparent effect, either within a given X session, or in a new one. I've tried a number of tweaks to try to get fonts updated including: $ xset fp+ /usr/share/abisuite/fonts $ xset fp rehash $ /etc/init.d/xfs restart ...I don't have xfstt installed on this box, though my TT fonts work outside of AbiWord.

As root, 'cat text_file /dev/lp0' hangs but nothing happens at the printer my cmos parallel port settings are SSP ( as opposed to EPP,ECP or EPPECP) and port 378,irq7 parport and lp support are compiled in the kernel the relevant dmesg output is: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP, TRISTATE] parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(10) parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(10) parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 777 lp0: using porport0 (poling). Am I right in concluding that there is a problem sending information out my parralel port as even directly writing to /dev/lp0 doesn't even print garbage or make printer noises? How can I narrow down where the problem is? The kernel seems to know about my parallel port and have the address right. My printer (epson 777) and cable are OK as they work with windows booted. Thanks Norbert

Re: can't print from acroread
Hi, everyone. The problem I was having mid March is finally solved. I started this thread on Mar 16 having the problem of, though being able to print fine from the command line, not being able to print internally from applications such as acroread. Though this problem (which appears to be related to the printer filter I was using with lprng) was never solved itself, I, for another reason, switched over to using the printer filter provided by a program called 'ifhp' which uses the lprng spooler. Other than simply being better than the filter I was using previously, it also magically fixed the problem I was having of not being able to print from within various applications. Possibly this may also help someone else experiencing similar problems. Paul -In response to your message- --received from Erdmut Pfeifer-- thanks for the clear report. From this debugging information and a quick look at the lprng source, I would say that the problem occurs while trying to fork/exec the so-called input filter, though I do not yet have a clear idea why it fails... The waitpid(2) call returns a -1, which indicates that the waitpid failed. Actually, there are three error/return codes involved here: the exit code of the waited-for child process (the filter), the return code of the waitpid function itself, and in case the latter returns -1, the errno being set by waitpid, which _might_ provide further details on what went wrong (not sure whether it really would in this case, though). Unfortunately, this error number doesn't seem to make it to the debugging logs (or else we should see another diff) -- the -1 appears to be propagated to the logs instead. Although it would generally be easy to add another printf() to the lprng code, outputting the errno, I assume that you would rather avoid having to recompile the code and having to make sure that the modified version gets installed in the appropriate place. I guess we should do things like these as a last resort only. Instead we might try to apply the same wrap a script-technique here as well, by substituting a script for the filter program run by lprng. The script could output a few interesting things like command line args, environment, the errno in question, etc. before/after running the filter... There is a faint hope that something will differ here... :) First, however, I'd like to take a look at the full logs available already, so feel free to send them to me privately. In particular, I'm not sure yet as to how the other diff (the fd-0..5 vs. fd-0..8 thing) is related to the waitpid error ocurring later on. Maybe that is the real place where things start to go wrong. The complete logs will make it easier to dig through the appropriate portions of the source. Also, I'd like to take a look at your printcap file (especially the if-specification which is in effect for the printer in question), so be sure to attach that as well. BTW, which printer are you using -- is it a native postscript printer, or are you using ghostscript as a filter? If you haven't done so already, you might also want to try to run your test script from the command line but in the background. This might help to rule out issues with a controlling terminal being required by the filter. Don't know why it would need one, but who knows ... just an idea. Erdmut PS: I cannot promise to be able to take a closer look at this immediately, but I _will_ as soon as time permits. After all, getting a deeper understanding of the lprng mechanics might help me to eventually solve a somewhat similar problem I'm experiencing myself sporadically ;)

Re: can't print from acroread
Ok, here's some preliminary information to this problem I'm still experiencing with a pdf not printing from the acroread application. Erdmut Pfeifer gave an excellent suggestion below to which I dedicated a few hours. In short: make a script that gets executed as the the print command from within acroread. The script ls's the temp file that acroread creates and sends to the print command, copies it to a non-automatically-deleted file, tries printing the temp file itself and catches the return code from lpr. Here's some inital results: The script works beautifully although the print fails just as well when executed by the script as when by a typical print command both from within acroread. Indeed the status of the failed print command is captured though only offering, in my knowledge, a very vague return status of 255. To un-vague-ify this as best I could, I made one significant addition to the script of adding the -D5 option of lpr to offer verbose debugging information. This finally starts to get me somewhere but not so far as to completely understand and solve the whatever's really going on. To really simplify things while exposing the basic problem, I saved the pdf from acroread as a postscript file. I then wrote one script that prints this postscript file with the lpr -D5 option saving the output to one file while recording the returned status from lpr to another. I then ran this exact same command once from the command line and once from within acroread. Now, mind you, the script accepts no input arguments . . . so the execution of the script is exactly the same, printing the exact same postscript file, while printing correctly from one execution (command line) yet not from the other (acroread). I can offer the full debug report from either or both runs to anyone who should care to view it/them but in attempt to keep things as concise as possible, just below is the segment from both reports where they begin to deviate. Notice in about the middle of the segments (sixth line), there is a line that reads . . . lpr lp: plp_waitpid: report . . . . In the bad report, report is followed by -1. In the good one, report is followed by the PID (what I suppose is a child process of lpr) mentioned on the line just before it. In the failed print case, things go bad from here onward and shortly end while things continue on another 80,000 lines or so in the successful print case. The unfortunate thing is that this doesn't tell me much. I'm hoping it may say something more to one of you likely more knowledgeable people on the list. --- lpr debug report from script when run from acroread --- . . . 2001-03-23-12:32:19.397 isengard [6420] lpr lp: Write_outbuf_to_OF: read status 0, read 0, '' 2001-03-23-12:32:19.397 isengard [6420] lpr lp: Write_outbuf_to_OF: no more reading 2001-03-23-12:32:19.397 isengard [6420] lpr lp: Write_outbuf_to_OF: waiting 0 secs for pid 6422, suspend 0 2001-03-23-12:32:19.398 isengard [6420] lpr lp: Wait_for_pid: name 'IF', pid 6422, suspend 0, timeout 0 2001-03-23-12:32:19.398 isengard [6420] lpr lp: plp_waitpid: pid 6422, options 2 2001-03-23-12:32:19.398 isengard [6420] lpr lp: plp_waitpid: report -1, status exit status 0 (JSUCC) 2001-03-23-12:32:19.398 isengard [6420] lpr lp: Wait_for_pid: pid -1 exit status 'exit status 0 (JSUCC)' 2001-03-23-12:32:19.398 isengard [6420] lpr lp: Wait_for_pid: returning 'UNKNOWN STATUS '-1'', exit status 'exit status 0 (JSUCC)' 2001-03-23-12:32:19.398 isengard [6420] lpr lp: setstatus: IF filter problems, error 'UNKNOWN STATUS '-1'' 2001-03-23-12:32:19.398 isengard [6420] lpr lp: Add_line_list: 'IF filter problems, error 'UNKN...', sep 'NULL', sort 0, uniq 0 2001-03-23-12:32:19.398 isengard [6420] lpr lp: cleanup: signal No signal, Errorcode -1, exits 1 . . . -- lpr debug report from script when run from commandline -- . . . 2001-03-23-12:31:23.605 isengard [6409] lpr lp: Write_outbuf_to_OF: read status 0, read 0, '' 2001-03-23-12:31:23.605 isengard [6409] lpr lp: Write_outbuf_to_OF: no more reading 2001-03-23-12:31:23.605 isengard [6409] lpr lp: Write_outbuf_to_OF: waiting 0 secs for pid 6411, suspend 0 2001-03-23-12:31:23.605 isengard [6409] lpr lp: Wait_for_pid: name 'IF', pid 6411, suspend 0, timeout 0 2001-03-23-12:31:23.605 isengard [6409] lpr lp: plp_waitpid: pid 6411, options 2 2001-03-23-12:31:23.606 isengard [6409] lpr lp: plp_waitpid: report 6411, status exit status 0 (JSUCC) 2001-03-23-12:31:23.606 isengard [6409] lpr lp: Wait_for_pid: pid 6411 exit status 'exit status 0 (JSUCC)' 2001-03-23-12:31:23.606 isengard [6409] lpr lp: Wait_for_pid: IF filter exited with status 0 2001-03-23-12:31:23.606 isengard [6409] lpr lp: Wait_for_pid: returning 'JSUCC', exit status 'exit status 0 (JSUCC)'

Re: can't print from acroread
Not sure if this will help, but... I have the same symptom. I tried to print from acroread and nothing happened. I ended up shutting down after that. The next time I booted the system I discovered that I was unable to print from any application, and my cpu was pinned. I noticed that the process sucking most of the cpu was gs. After killing gs the cpu went to normal and printing resumed. Hope that's a hint.

Perhaps you might want to try the following to get some more information: Write a shell script something like #!/bin/sh ls -l $1 /tmp/acroprint-debug.$$ cp $1 /tmp/acroprint-out.$$ /usr/bin/lpr -Pprinter $1 # substitute your printer here echo $? /tmp/acroprint-debug.$$ (the .$$ are not required, they just create a seperate pair of files for each try, with the PID appended) and run this instead of the /usr/bin/lpr from acroread's print dialogbox (e.g. Printer Command: /home/name/test-print -- no further options) This should (a) give you some info about the temp-file that acroread creates (- ls) (b) copy the temp-file to a safe place, before it gets deleted (- cp) (c) try to run the actual print command -- maybe it works from here (d) capture the return code of the print command -- should be 0 if OK Then you can also compare the /tmp/acroprint-out with the file you created when printing directly to a file from within the dialogbox. I guess both files should be identical. Also, feel free to add other debugging commands you could think of to the script... Don't know whether it helps ;) Erdmut -- Erdmut Pfeifer science+computing ag -- Bugs come in through open windows. Keep Windows shut! --

My printer only handles PS just a short note: contrary to what one might think, the 3.0 in %!PS-Adobe-3.0 does not refer to the PostScript language level. Instead it states that the PS document adheres to the Adobe DSC (document structuring conventions) version 3.0 (with versioning independent from the PS level). The DSC mainly specify the syntax and sematics of the %%-comments. Erdmut level 2, so I believe this was the problem. I think it had something to do with the way the document was created and neither acroread nor pdftops could convert to level 2 postscript, although I had selected level 2 in the acroread print dialog box. -- Erdmut Pfeifer science+computing ag -- Bugs come in through open windows.

Staroffice can't print to deskjet 840C
Hi, I use CUPS and I configure my Deskjet 840C. I print perfectly from any application, but from staroffice I can't print to it. Why? Someone has any idea about it? Is because Staroffice need to print to a postscript printer...and a Deskjet is not a Postscript printer Rogelio

I couldn't print on my epson stylus 1520 on a SO 5.2. What I did is to replace SO's ppd file with the one I was using with CUPS and everything works fine since then -- __ Daniel de los Reyes S2-Selling Soluciones Valencia Spain e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Debian GNU-Linux 2.2r0 __
