I started getting problems with printing after upgrading from Ubuntu
Hardy (8.04) to Intrepid (8.10).
My printer is an HP PSC 2110 all-in-one printer with a USB connection.
I am using HPLIP 2.8.10 for my printer driver.
The version of the cups package I have installed is 1.3.9-2
Printing seems to work in some cases, and doesn't work in other cases.
For instance:
$ lpr 5004Midterm2008Solns.pdf
but then the following doesn't work:
$ pdf2ps 5004Midterm2008Solns.pdf
$ lpr 5004Midterm2008Solns.ps
I get a "Print Error" dialog when it fails to print with a message
"There was a problem processing document 'SYSC-5004 Fall Term 2008:
Midterm Solutions' (job 00)" where SYSC-5004 Fall Term 2008: Midterm
Solutions and 51 are variable. The printer doesn't respond (i.e. no
message change on the display or any attempt to print the page). I used
the diagnose option on the print error dialog, and tried to print a test
page, then saved the diagnostic output.
I tested with some different programs and I found the following.
Printing a PDF doesn't work in Adobe Reader, Evince (Document Viewer).
Test pages from system-config-printer or HP Device Manager don't get
printed. I also couldn't print documents from Open Office.
The printing does print from Gedit, GIMP, or from HP Device Manager
(using Clean Cartridges).
The best workaround seems to be to save to a PDF file, then use lpr from
the command line to print.
Let me know if there is any other information I can provide. I am not
afraid of using the command line, compiler source code, or
modifying/patching source code.
