I have a system that started life as a redhat 7.2 system that I can not
replace. It has been upgraded over the years and is currently running
kernel 2.4.34., GCC is version 3.3.
I have an old CUPS system set up on it 1.1.20, which has worked for many
years. I recently got a new printer, a Samsung ML-1610. I have been
able to get it to work with CUPS by installing the latest version of
Ghostscript and the Splix driver.
However, I get the error message in the log file "media tray empty"
after every print job. This is a common problem which was fixed a long time
ago, around release 1.2.
I have tried to install from the tarball every later version of cups
cups-1.2.12
cups-1.3.8
cups-1.3.9
cups-1.4b1
and although they otherwise seem to work, they will not detect my printer.
In fact, it looks like they no longer have USB support.
If I force it, for example with 1.4.b1 (or 1.3.9, or 1.3.8) using:
./configure --disable-ldap --enable-libusb
Libusb is "libusb-0.1.12" which seems to be the last version.
I get the recurring message "waiting for printer to become ready".
The printer is online and ready before I start the CUPS scheduler.
I have searched the CUPS forums and done general web searches, and found
nothing.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Geoff.
