I may try that if I have to give up on CUPS, but this is a PostScript printer, so I thought CUPS should work. > Look also in /var/log/cups/error_log and post it. Once I started monitoring that file, I didn't see any errors. However, there were errors from attempts earlier in the day. I don't know just which actions caused each of these, but here's the full list (minus duplicates): Cancel-Job: Unauthorized Pause-Printer: Unauthorized Resume-Printer: Unauthorized PID 12307 (/usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-driverd) crashed on signal 9! Unable to get PPD file /printers/laserjet_4_plus.ppd: 404 - Not Found > Check if you have all the foomatic stuff (foomatic-filters, foomatic-db, > ghostscript, etc). Yes, I have all of those and foomatic-rip too. Since my original post, I have printed with ease from a Vista laptop to the printer on USB, so the printer and cable can be said to work. Another weird observation is that I sometimes find copies of the PPD file (/etc/cups/ppd/Phaser_6280DN.ppd) in /tmp with names like "4b313635a5336". Again, I'm not sure just what operation causes that. I've been trying a lot of things, Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
