Well, it might and it might not: what does the print-queue show, and what does the error-log show, etc, etc. But the more-central point is that you've again made multiple changes - taking out hplip, and adding both ghostscript and gutenprint - and arrived at another non-working setup. The setup that you had, when you were seeing the "Can't input data to Ghostscript" (or similar) message from the 'lpstat -t -v' output, was pretty likely only missing the presence of ghostscript: i.e. you probably only needed to add ghostscript and it've been all working fine. Note that 'lpstat -t -v' indicated that the correct printer &c was being detected and used. So, I'd recommend you go back to that setup (cups+hplip), plus the presence of ghostscript. Really, do try to debug one thing at a time here. rgds, akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
