How may I try and fix this problem, am always willing to have a go, can always re-install if I manage to wreck things.

Have been trying to get various dot-matrix printers to work with no success. In the printer dialog, it gives the option of postscript 1 and 2. Have tried both. Sound fair. I know for a fact I got lucky, since HP apparently seems to be somewhat fond of making printer drivers for their printers -- and that was what I've been stuck with since the beginning of time (well, except for when I was 2, when we had one of those Apple Laserjet thingies and a Mac LC or whatever it was called). What packaging manager does Ubuntu use (aptitude, some graphical thing in X, etc. etc.)? I use debian, which is similar, but not exactly the same. I believe you want to ensure you don't have the regular lpr, but a CUPS-compatable one, which is located in cupsys-bsd. cupsys-client looks useful too, if you don't have it. You might also want cupsys-driver-gimpprint. See if that helps in any way, shape or form. If you're wondering, these appear to be the CUPS packages on my system, and I can print on both HTP Deskjet 842C and 722C (although these are different types of printers). I realise my installation is much outdated -- I suggest you get the latest ones you can get your hands on. This came from dpkg -l | grep cups. ii cups-pdf1.7.1-1 PDF printer for CUPS ii cupsys 1.1.23-11 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server ii cupsys-bsd 1.1.23-11 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD commands ii cupsys-client 1.1.23-11 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client programs (SysV) ii cupsys-driver-gimpprint 4.2.7-10 Gimp-Print printer drivers for CUPS ii cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data4.2.7-10 Gimp-Print printer drivers for CUPS ii gnome-cups-manager 0.30-2 CUPS printer admin tool for GNOME ii libcupsimage2 1.1.23-11 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - image libs ii libcupsys2-gnutls10 1.1.23-11 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs ii libgnomecups1.0-1 0.2.0-2 GNOME library for CUPS interaction ii libgnomecupsui1.0-1 0.30-2 UI extensions to libgnomecups Yes, that's a command line -- it took me 3 years of tinkering with Debian Linux (especially on this really annoying machine, a All-in-One known as the Gateway Astro) to learn everything I learned. Everything else comes from sudo su - man -- mandb (update the man page index, which requires su, sudo, and mandb, although you can get away without either su or sudo), man (find a man page and read it), and apropos (search the index for a word). The tool whatis (whatis xyz helps find short descriptions of a command's prupose) is also useful. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] HP Laserjet 1100 print problems
Hi all, am having problems printing to HP Laserjet 1100 (printing grayscale) from Gimp. Printer shows in the printing dialog, but on the print command I get 1 page with %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Creator: Print plug-in V4.2 for GIMP/Gimp-Print 4.2.7 (15 Jul followed by many blank pages through the printer. The only way to stop it feeding paper is to cancel the print job. I have tried both PostScript Level1 and PostScript Level2 the only options available, with the same result. Have I neglected to install anything? Printer shows in the Printer name slot. Am using Ubuntu Linux 5.04. Printer is fine with Open Office, Gedit etc. Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated.
