Hey,
I recently compiled AFPL ghostscript because I wanted to use thier GSview,
and there were no RPM's that were current enough. I soon found out that I
could no longer print.
The first thing I did was I tried to recompile ghostscript with the required
driver, but that didn't help all that much. Then I tried installing the
latest gs rpm, but I still couldn't print. The funny thing was that LPRng
said it printed, but I think it only sent it to the filter and it got stuck
there. I looked at the filter and tried to fix that. Since then I have read
so many How-To's that my eyes were always hurting.
I dicided that this was a time for drastic measures, so I gutted all the
rpms I believed to be related to the problem, and reinstalled them. Then I
used printconf to get it up and running. On my first test it started
printing! But don't stop reading, because it was not the test page for
which I had hoped. Rather, it looked similar to a stderr after something
went wrong (gs maybe?). Something like this it looks:
Error: /invalidfont in findfont
Operand stack:
--nostringval-- Helvectia-Bold Font Helvectia-Bold 412284...
Execution stack:
%interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval--...
Dictionary stack:
--dict:1010/1123(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:96/200(L)--...
...Current allocation mode is local
Last OS error: 2
BTW those elipsis (...) aren't literals. I would be here for hours typing
up the whole thing.
Another problem is that I can't find my driver among the linuxprinting list
in as I initially did when I set up my printer my printer is kx-p1124i. I
can find kx-p1124, but no i. When I first set it up printconf found the
driver (Omni) and d/led it automaticly. Now I d/led it for manualy and I
still didn't get the i.
Please help me, I dread going on to my Win partition just because I can't
print here. It's an inconvience. Thanks in advance.
