I am running a RH 6.1-ish system (it is RH 6.1
but for the kernel). I have been struggling with
a few oddities since reinstalling the whole ball
of wax a week ago, and mostly working thru the
problems. I have just discovered another one
that I am not sure how to deal with.
I have found that I can print text and postscript
using the printtool with no problem (I have an
Epson Color Stylus 600) and I can print text
from both kedit (I use KDE 1.1.2) and emacs with
no problem. I can print postscript from
emacs with no problem. Finally, I can print a
jpeg from kview (haven't yet tried with ee or
gimp). What I cannot do is print from a command line using "lpr
some.ps" and I cannot print from
gs, gv, nor from the kde postscript viewer. I get no error messages
at all. On the command
line I get absolutely nothing.
I have my printer broken out into 3 printers:
lp is low-res 360x360dpi, lp0 is 720x720dpi, and
lp1 is 1440dpi. They all work under printtool.
I have a postscript file, nazgul.ps, that I have
been trying to print as a test. I have also
tried printing other ps files as well - I
haven't tried printing a text file from a CLI
yet - and it just doesn't work.
I have tried: "lpr -Plp0 nazgul.ps", "lpr -Plp1
nazgul.ps", and "lpr nazgul.ps" (the default
printer is lp at 360x360). Nothing at all
happens. I can immediately enter "lpq" and see
no entries (same if I have the klpq app running
at the time and pointed at the correct printer).
If I just enter "lpr" it sits there awaiting
input normally. If I just enter "pr nazgul.ps"
the screen immediately scrolls with a lot of
ASCII characters indicating the processing is
occurring via pr.
I have ghostscript 5.10 (I think that's the
version...it is the version coming with RH 6.1)
and ghostcript-fonts-5.10 rpms installed.
It is driving me nuts this not receiving at
least an error message - SOME indication that
the system is catching an error or that something
isn't configured properly. I don't even get
a message about permissions AND I have tried
printing from the CLI as root with no results
as well.
Can anyone shed any light on this problem?
Thanks in advance,
patrick
