Brian -
You didn't say how the printer is accessed by the computer.
USB
Your "lpstat -a" has
device for POS58: socket://192.168.1.100:9100
A socket connection is for a printer which is accessed over the network.
Your printer is not networked; it has a direct USB connection to the
computer. The device you have used is incorrect - which makes printing
impossible.
The device needs to be changed. One way is:
1. Reboot the computer with the printer attached and switched on.
2. Go to http://localhost:631 with your browser.
3. Go to "Administration". Is the printer found?
4. Proceed to install a print queue with the PPD in the zjiang directory.
This directory probably contains the PPD file supplied by the printer
manufacturer. It should be identical to /etc/cups/ppd/POS58.ppd.
The two files are identical.
The setup seems very reasonable. Do you get any life out of the printer
with
cat TEST | nc 192.168.7.100 9100 ?
No output
I corrected this earlier to
cat TEST | nc 192.168.1.100 9100
But you will still not get any response from the printer as it turns out
your setup is not reasonable.
Brian -
EXCELLENT!! Changed to a non-networked printer, and IT WORKS.
The printing is along the length of the paper, as opposed to
perpendicular.
How do I change it?
TIA
