I may have found my problem, since its all thats left in a seemingly exhausted list of remedies.
My last error log file reads... debian:/home/daryl# tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log D [22/Jul/2006:03:40:54 -0400] StartJob() id = 23, file = 0/1 E [22/Jul/2006:03:40:54 -0400] Unable to convert file 0 to printable format forjob 23!

D [22/Jul/2006:03:43:53 -0400] CloseClient: 6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One line states... 'Unable to convert file 0 to printable format forjob 23!' According to the 'Error Log FAQ's' at... http://www.linuxprinting.org/error_log-faq.html#q_3_12 ...this is caused by not having the pstoraster filter included in ESP GhostScript, or not having applied the GhostScript patches in the pstoraster directory of the GNU GhostScript sources. You need to install ESP GhostScript or the patch starting with CUPS 1.1.15. It may also be necessary to compile ESP GhostScript against your current version of CUPS. The individual packages in 'CUPS' are v.1.1.23... ii libcupsys2-dev 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - developmen ii libcupsys2-gnu 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs ii libgnomecups1. 0.1.14-1 GNOME library for CUPS interaction ii libgnomecupsui 0.25-2.1 UI extensions to libgnomecups debian:/home/daryl# dpkg -l | grep cups ii cupsys 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server ii cupsys-bsd 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD comman ii cupsys-client 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client pro ii gnome-cups-man 0.25-2.1 CUPS printer admin tool for GNOME ii libcupsimage2 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - image libs ii libcupsimage2- 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - image deve ii libcupsys2 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - dummy libs ii libcupsys2-dev 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - developmen ii libcupsys2-gnu 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs ii libgnomecups1. 0.1.14-1 GNOME library for CUPS interaction ii libgnomecupsui 0.25-2.1 So, I think I need the GhostScript Patch. The line from my log... It may also be necessary to compile ESP GhostScript against your current version of CUPS ...I don't understand this, but first things first. Now I have to go look for the patch and find out how to install it. Daryl... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
