I posted this same problem a few days ago, so I hope I am not annoying anyone :o)
I am trying to get printing working on my gentoo system. I have had good luck using apsfilter in the past, so I am going that way. When it gets to the point of trying to print the test page, I get an error -- from ghostscript, it appears to me....
I found another message that seems to point that this error is caused by missing parallel and printer support in my kernel:
unable to set key=OutputFile, value=/tmp/apsfilter809/test_page.aps unable to set key=Quality, value=0 unable to set key=ColorMode, value=2 unable to set key=MediaType, value=0 unable to set key=PenSet, value=2 and continues inifintely.......
Any ideas what could be the problem, and the solution?
Solved the problem. There was no parallell port or printer support in kernel. A new compilation of kernel solved it.
So, I am trying to implement a matching fix for myself. I looked through the menuconfig screens and found and activated everything I could find relating to parallel and printer... and then I grep -i'd through the resulting .config file for para and print and everything that related was =YES, but still I cannot print.
How can I tell if the parallel and printer support IS in the resulting kernel?
Is this gs problem really caused by missing parallel and printer support in the kernel?
How else should I go about printing? I tried the "printing" section of the gentoo users guide, but the section on printing to a shared windows printer is ... not as nice as the rest of the manual ;o)
Any guidance appreciated.
