I have NEVER been able to get my RedHat (5.0) properly.
System:
AMD K6 200 MHz, 32MB RAM, 4.3 GIG drive, V.90 modem, Cannon BJC-610
printer, print to parallel port 1 (LPT1)(/dev/lp1)
Symptoms:
Any print job that requires a filter shows
=------------
Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in .putdeviceprops
(1488)op_array(458)0x8130244:Execution stack at 0x80f4310:
0x80fbc94: 0x0f oper --F---e-- 0x0000 0x08052f00 = %interp_exit

Attempted solutions:
Installed the new rhs-printfilter rpm available at redhat site. Even
though I'm running 5.0, I installed the incremental update to no avail.
Other printer drivers were attempted, especially the ones that are
listed in the manual as being compatible with the Cannon BJC-610. No
such luck. They all failed in a similar manner. (I can elaborate to
interested parties)
Finally, I found a barely passable solution:
If I add an Epson Color Dot matrix printer (at 180 dpi, yucchy)
"lp Epson Color Dot Matris, 24 pin on /dev/lp1 "
I can get a crummy-blocky-lookin scruffy 180 dpi image in color.
It sucks.
I want to use the full capabilities of my printer! Waaaah!
Any ideas?
