I have googled for an answer and all the normal first steps, but I am at a small impass.
I have an HP 722C attached to a Win2k box on the LAN. Up until about 2 days al was good. Printing worked without a hitch. I upgraded using the dreaded -u (which never bit me before) a few newer packages (OpenOffice 1.1 rc and Evolution 1.4.3 as I recall) and since then printing is dead. When I look at the cups service in the browser I see that all the printing jobs that disappeared are listed as aborted and restarting them gives me a "client-error-not-possible" message. and nothing else. The printer is silent and still. Has anyone any clue as what caused this and/or how I can get printing back? The details follow. Note that I also have a Canon attached, but it is the HP that is non-functional from this system (prints fine froms it's own box). The Canon print quality is poor enough that this is a priority for me. The HP printer output was excellent (when it worked)! ---- To add the printer I used: ---- bash-2.05b# foomatic-configure -s cups -p 61536 -c smb://<username>:<password>@rivendell/HP -n HP -d pnm2ppa ---- Here is the output of a few relevant commands: ---- bash-2.05b# lpstat -t scheduler is running system default destination: Canon device for Canon: parallel:/dev/lp0 device for HP: smb://rivendell/HP Canon accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 HP accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00 printer Canon is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 printer HP is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00 ---- bash-2.05b# lpinfo -v network socket network http network ipp network lpd direct canon:/dev/lp0 direct epson:/dev/lp0 direct parallel:/dev/lp0 direct scsi serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200 direct usb:/dev/usblp0 direct usb:/dev/usblp1 direct usb:/dev/usblp2 direct usb:/dev/usblp3 direct usb:/dev/usblp4 direct usb:/dev/usblp5 direct usb:/dev/usblp6 direct usb:/dev/usblp7 direct usb:/dev/usblp8 direct usb:/dev/usblp9 direct usb:/dev/usblp10 direct usb:/dev/usblp11 direct usb:/dev/usblp12 direct usb:/dev/usblp13 direct usb:/dev/usblp14 direct usb:/dev/usblp15 network smb ---- Here is the content from a few relevent files: ---- bash-2.05b# cat /etc/cups/cupsd.conf | grep -v '^$' | grep -v '^#' ServerName localhost DocumentRoot /usr/share/cups/docs LogLevel info User lp Group lp Listen 127.0.0.1:631 SystemGroup lp <Location /> Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 </Location> <Location /admin> AuthType Basic AuthClass System Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 </Location> ---- bash-2.05b# cat /etc/cups/printers.conf | grep -v '^$' | grep -v '^#' <DefaultPrinter Canon> Info Canon BJ-200 DeviceURI parallel:/dev/lp0 State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer> <Printer HP> Info HP DeskJet 722C DeviceURI smb://<username>:<password>@rivendell/HP State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 </Printer> ---- I have tried deleting and reinstalling the printer. That made no difference. Google offered no help that was specific enough to this situation. Any ideas, suggestions, pointers, or even shadowy hints would be appreciated. :) Thanks in advance! -Tom Caudron -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
