No, the only waste of time is repeating the same steps over and over and 
expecting different results. I followed all instructions. I followed the 
link provided and tried the MP220 driver setting (to no avail).


I'm tired of half- or non-supported 4+ year old hardware (well really I 
imagine most of the tch on this laptop is over 4 years old, but my wife 
has only had this laptop for four years, bought new; the printer, no 
clue as I got that from a yard sale about 2 years ago but it's a good 
indication it also is around 4 or more years old). I'm tired of not 
having my wi-fi card work. I'm tired of only a select support for 
certain brands.


Secure? In spades. Stable? Ditto. Usable? Not by a long shot.

 Surprise surprise

Whatever this means if something is not 100% supported under cups, if
the printer in question understands Postscript or PCL it will be
possible with (or without) CUPS to print nearly any file to it.

The OP should provide the detailed information he was asked for, or he
is on his own and we can close this thread.

Re: Problems Printing

2013-03-12 Thread Matthias Apitz

I have checked your logs of last night and I have a few questions:

Can you please show the file /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/PIXMA.ppd when the
printer PIXMA is configured as Generic PS printer?

The log says, that CUPS is starting a filter chain of:

testtops--pstops--pstoraster--rastertogutenprint--backend/usb

Why it is using pstoraster and rastertogutenprint if the printer should
be a Generic PS one? It should just handover the PS output of testtops
to the backend/usb? Is this visible in the above PPD file?

The chain is failing in:

 libgnutls.so.47 not found, required by rastertogutenprint.5.2 
   
 D [10/Mar/2013:14:18:04 -0500] [Job 12] Shared object 
   
 libgnutls.so.47 not found, required by espgs  

that's why it does not print anything, this is clear. But why it wants
to use this?

Looks like you have FreeBSD's lpr(1) in front of CUPS' lpr(1) in
/usr/local/bin/lpr in your PATH; just do as root:

# chmod  /usr/bin/lpr

Try first printing a simple text file or even stdin from the cmd line,

if this works, check the CUPS log files what the problem might be when

A long time ago, I don't remember by whom or when, I was told to put
this in the /etc/make.conf file:

WITH_CUPS=YES
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=YES
WITHOUT_LPR=YES

Then rebuild the system and re-install CUPS and all would be well. I
did it and it worked so I guess it was okay to do. Was that info
actually correct or did I just luck out?

yes, correct; this will a) not install lpr in the base system, but b)
allow later CUPS to do a symlink from /usr/bin/lpr to

 I figured that out, sent the test, it queud the job and stuck there. 
 When I get home I'm going to clear the cups logs and start over again.

Does the CUPS' test page works from the web interface? If not, try to
configure the printer as Generic Postscript first.

 oh well. I'll keep digging. :-)

Did you get your printing organised yet? Maybe you just need to
tell printcap which port to send the print jobs to?

I have no experience with the DLink print server but have some experience with 
an HP JetDirect 4 port print server. I suspect operation is similar.

The server with respect to printing behaves very much like a unix box running 
lpd. You address the server with an 'rm' entry in printcap as you would 
another machine serving printers -- an IP address or name representing an IP 
address.
You pick a particular printer by a name ('rp' entry) associated with the 
particular port on the device -- this is probably hard coded and might be 
difficult to discover -- but for what it is woth the names are raw1, raw2, 
... on the HP box. If the rp entry is missing then (on the HP box) you'll
get the first port.

It is also possible to telnet into the HP box to change some configuration 
parameters. You may get a menu or a response to '?' or 'help'.

This of course gives only a raw connection. You may need to supply filters or 
whatever to process postscript or other source formats.

Not a definitive answer but with some luck it might help.
