What do you mean by "cups log"?

lpstat shows the status of cups. It says nothing about how the job

The wiki explains how to get the smallest possible error_log. Obtain
one for each of the "old" and "new" machines using

  lp /etc/nsswitch

They will compress to a tenth of their sizes with gzip or xz. Post the
two compressed logs here.

It is possible that your printer can´t emulate the old Matrix Printers and so 
it can´t
Print Text directly the same goes for GDI Printers.
Hope that helps a little pointing out the Problem.

Printer Setup Problem

[Thomas George]

Two computers, an old pc with Debian Stretch and a new Raspberry Pi with 
the raspbian jessie operating system.


The old pc prints to a lan printer with no problem. The lpstat -t shows 
the identical set up on the Raspberry Pi but a command lp test.txt 
results in no printer output although the cups log shows the job as 
completed.


I have attached a script of the output of lpstat -t on the Raspberry Pi. 
The output of this command on the old pc is absolutely identical except 
for the dates and times.


Where should I look to fix this?

That was spot on. I had to download the following packages, some of which
are no longer in the repositories:

libglade2-0

libstdc++6:i386

libxml2:i386

libjpeg62:i386

libbeecrypt7:i386

Ran the install.sh script, and it's printing fine now.

Canon Printer Setup

Hi All,

I'm attempting to use a Canon Image Class MF628Cw from Debian. I downloaded
the drivers from the Canon website at
https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/color-laser/mf628cw.
I installed them via dpkg, then added the printer in CUPS via a web browser
at localhost:631.

The printer did not come with a USB cable, and is connected to the LAN.
CUPS sees the printer, and the printer appears as available when I attempt
to print from evince. However, after sending the print signal, the printer
does not print. The "Jobs" page in CUPS says "No jobs," but if I click on
printer and then click "Show All Jobs," I see the following:

Which desktop are you using?

I use XFCE, so:
apt-cache search xfce | egrep -i print
sudo apt-get install xfprint4
dpkg -L xfprint4 |grep bin

network printer setup

[Miten Mehta]

Hi,

I have Canon Image Reader Advanced 4025/4035 printer which from windows host I 
add printer as PRXXX on SRXXX.  

I can nmap SRXXX and output is below:
Host is up (0.0077s latency).

49154/tcp open  unknown

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 4.58 seconds

I know its IP and PRXXX is probably its name.  Now with that information what I 
need to do on Debian to add printer ?

My debian is guest OS on win 7 host using virtual box windows machine.

I have added two network printers without any noticeable problem, not 
using "ipp" but raw socket 9100 by means of GNOME printer facility which 
automatically discovered the available printers in the network and I only 
had to select the driver to load.

Anyway, have you tried adding the printer from CUPS web UI (http://
localhost:631)?

There seems to always have been a bug that prevented you from adding a

but in Gnome 3 even when you enter the IP and search and the printer

This will go faster if we know more about the software you are using to
connect to the printer. If the printer is a "network" printer connected
via a 'network printer hub" you will need the IP address of the hub and
the port to which the printer is connected. if it is connected to a
windows network you may need to install samba to use it. If it is
connected 'directly to the computer that has debian installed, it is not
really a network printer. You will also need a printer software
interface. I strongly suggest cups as it may be managed adequately from
a web interface located at http://localhost:631 on most machines.
another very useful tool for managing all of this is webmin. Look into
it.
Hope this helps!

Printer Setup Problem

[김정환]

Hi, everyone

I'm trying to setup a printer in network environment.
My printer is HP Laserjet 3015 PCL6.

In MS Windows, the printer is set up as follows :
Port : DOT4_001
Generic IEEE 1284.4 Printing Support
HP Laserjet 3015 PCL6

In debian, when I try to install network printer,
it requires URL, but I don't know it.

Please give me an information how to install
my network printer.

Thanks in advance.

Install the printer by running 'hp-setup' as root.  Choose the option
for a parallel connection.

I'm not sure what is wrong, but I have a suggestion.  CUPS has a nice,
and in my experience, reliable, Web interface for configuration.  You
can access it by having your browser connect to "http://localhost:631/";.

I would suggest using the "Manage Printers" selection, in the "Welcome"
section of the page, first, to see if the printer setup you did created
anything.  If you see it there, you can then choose to "Modify Printer"
to verify the setup and perhaps find and fix the problem.  You may also
want to look at "Set Printer Options", to be sure they are correct.

If you don't see the printer listed, then you should use the "Add
Printer" link to set it up again.

Printer setup not working

[Zach Uram]

I hope it is ok to post this in here, the packages are the same in Debian.

Here is what I've done to get my HP Deskjet 960c color inkjet printer
working in Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake):

Booted up, hooked my printer up to the parallel port and powered it
on, added paper, printer's green light is on.

I then went to System -> Administration -> Printing
Clicked on New Printer and it ran gnome-cups-add and read the printer database

Then the Add a Printer dialog box says:
Step 1 of 3: Printer Connection
Printer Type: local printer
Use a detected printer: HP DESKJET_960C

It has in Printer Port: (greyed out so I can't change it):
hp:/par/DESKJET_960C?device=/dev/parport0 (HP DESKJET_960C)

So it detected my correct printer.

Then I went Forward to:
Step 2 of 3: Printer Driver
Manufacturer: HP
Model: Deskjet 960C
Driver: hpijs (recommended) - HPLIP 0.9.7 (Suggested) There is a green
dot after this showing it is installed.

Then I went Forward to:
Step 3 of 3: Printer Information
Name: Deskjet
Description: HP-DESKJET
Location: home

So after I filled those in I clicked Apply.

But when I go back to the Printers control panel I don't see any
printer in there. It just says has the New Printer icon to create a
new printer. It should have created the printer I setup. And when I
try to print it said in the console: lpr: Error - no default
destination available. So apparently it is not setting it up :-(

I checked the log files and only thing I saw possibly relevant was in
/var/log/syslog:

Dec 31 01:18:29 ubuntu kernel: [4498844.439000] lp0: ECP mode
Dec 31 01:18:30 ubuntu kernel: [4498844.757000] lp0: ECP mode

Dec 31 01:18:36 ubuntu kernel: [4498851.283000] lp0: ECP mode

I verified I have the correct drivers installed:

ubu...@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -l|grep hplip
ii  hplip  0.9.7-4ubuntu1 HP Linux
Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP)
ii  hplip-data 0.9.7-4ubuntu1 HP Linux

linuxprinting.org printer support - database
ii  hpijs  2.1.7+0.9.7-4ubuntu1 HP
Linux Printing and Imaging - gs IJS drive

Is there a way I can manually force it to try and print using the
drivers? It should work, I followed all the steps yet it never creates
an entry for my printer :-( What is wrong?

Normal is uni-directional.  ECP and EPP are both bidirectional.  I don't
know if your print spooler would prefer bidirectional, in which case try
EPP.

I had hoped that doing regular updates on my system, which is now Lenny,
would eventually solve the problem, but it still would not print until
today. 

I finally found how to fix the problem after reading this report of Bug
#38805 in Debian. They found the parallel port settings in the bios were
involved in the problem.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+bug/38805

I checked my bios setup and under Parellel Port Mode found four choices.
Normal, Bi-directional, EPP and ECP. I experienced the printer problem
with the bios set to ECP. 

When I choose Normal, the printer now works.

Do you see anything interesting in /var/log/cups/error_log?

What kind of printer is it (model, directly connected or on a network)?
Does the printer display a message, blink, beep, or otherwise try to
communicate with you?

Correct.  I did say "IIRC"--and could not find any backup when I went
back to check it later.   :)

Anyway, the lpadmin group bypasses any potential problems in using root
anyway, and he won't have to think twice about it later.

Really?  Mine does.  When I open "Common UNIX Printing System 1.2.7"
page at http://localhost:631, it states quite clearly:

If you are asked for a username and password, enter your login username
and password or the "root" username and password.

printer setup

[bobsetch]

It's only me again! I am taking heart in the fact that I'm learning but!!! 
There has to be something really stupid that I'm missing. Cups thinks it 
successfully printed test pages from cups and a file from the word processor. 
Where is the output going? Why doesn't it get to the printer?

Sorry for a late entry here, so I don't know what's been said before...

IIRC cups by default does not accept root for administration.  The OP
must add himself to the group "lpadmin" (through su, or whatever).  He
must then ***totally log out of X AND the underlying console session (if
he used startx)***.  Log back in, start up X, then use cups.  His
account name and password should then be accepted.

You would need to use the root user, and the root password.  Go to
http://localhost:631, and, when asked, use root, and not your regular
user.

Other stuff you could try:  install the package printconf, and then, in
the terminal (or konsole, if using kde), as root, run the command
printconf.  This should set up your printer.

If no luck still, search synaptic for stuff for your printer.  There
are various HP drivers that can be found.  See descriptions for
the following packages:  hpijs, hpijs-ppds, hp-ppd, hpoj, and 
foomatic-filters-ppds (this one is a big file that includes drivers
for most printers that work on Linux -- you probably won't need this,
as the hp specific packages should work).  Whichever package
sounds like the right one for your brand of HP printer,
install (and if none of them are right, then just go for
foomatic-filters-ppds.  Afterword, try either cups via
http://localhost:631 again, or printconf, and you should have a working
printer.

this option has nothing to do with whether you are "on line" or
not. Cups, on your local machine, provides a web interface for its
configuration. That's why you can access it through
localhost:631. localhost is the current machine you are sitting
at. The user and password your need would be 'root' and root's
password. Or you can add yourself to the lpadmin group

useradd  lpadmin

and then logout/login and then you will be able to modify the printer
as yourself instead of as root.

This is a shot in the dark, but I've seen this issue several times.  If 
your printer configuration is setting the paper size to A4 and you're 
printer is is actually US letter size, the job will stop, waiting for 
the correct paper type.


You'd need to use one of the CUPS configuration tools (I prefer the 
browser based method), select the printer configuration and verify the 
paper size there.

When I looked at the CUPS log files earlier today, I did not have
debugging enabled, in the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. I changed the line
"LogLevel warning" to "LogLevel debug" as described in the site below,
and when I try to print there is much more information sent to the
error_log file.

http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/CupsFAQ
How do I enable debugging? 
1. Edit the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
2. Change the line LogLevel to debug.
3. Restart cupsd.  killall -HUP cupsd

I have retried printing from OOo, with the same outcome of lines of
symbols. These are the log file entries;

- From the cups manual, this has the keyword quota.

QuotaPeriod
Examples


  ...
  QuotaPeriod 604800


Description

The QuotaPeriod directive defines the value of the job-quota-period
attribute. Typical values are 86400 (1 day), 604800 (1 week), 2592000
(1 month), and 31536000 (1 year). It is set using the lpadmin(8)
command:

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -o job-quota-period=604800

This directive must appear inside a Printer or DefaultPrinter

Yes that is what I got again this morning after rebooting the system. 

When I click on "Print Test Page" under my printer settings in the CUPS

at all. Here's what the three log files give afterwards;

page after page. I ended by resetting the printer. The error messages are:

Thanks for the suggestion. I installed HPLIP and find that it doesn't
detect my HP Deskjet 500. 

When I ran HPLIP, I got the message "No Installed HP Devices Found".

When I tried to install my printer the program does not detect it.

Just to be clear, printing from OOo works but the test page does not?

Ah, as root '/etc/init.d/cupsys restart' should do the trick next time.

I remember that without rebooting my printer wouldn't start:

I don't see why you needed to reboot.  It should work nearly as soon as 
you add the printer.

lpinfo should be in /usr/sbin. If you installed cupsys, you should have
it. You might not need it anyway, if you run gnome-cups-manager
(assuming you use gnome), you should be able to add your printer. This
tool will also autodetect connected printers.

These are all part of cupsys-client:

:~$ dpkg -S lpinfo
cupsys-client: /usr/share/man/man8/lpinfo.8.gz
cupsys-client: /usr/sbin/lpinfo
cupsys: /usr/share/cups/doc-root/help/man-lpinfo.html

Make sure you have it installed and you may need to run it as root
(sudo)

I did: `# apt-get install cupsys'. Then, in my system, at:

I found a useful document. The first step there described is:

 # lpinfo -v

, but my system does not find the command `lpinfo'
nor will it install it with: `# apt-get install lpinfo':

 W: Unable to locate package lpinfo

At:

I read:


CUPS also includes a command line administration tool; 
consult the cups documentation if you prefer to use that.


How can access this command line administration tool?

You will then be in the cups interface where you can set up printers
etc. 

You may find this helpful; although it's more about sharing printers with
windows, it has some useful info on cups.

Hello,

You need the cupsys package, and I recommend installing the foomatic
also. There are also several printer auto-detection tools out there, but
you might not need any. These two packages have a lot of printers in
their databases.
Good luck!

(Sorry for my English, I'm Hungarian.)
I'm printing on A4 in the first place.

|---0.5 cm-|
||--1.0 cm||
|||-1.5 cm---|||
|||  |||
|||  |||
|||  |||
...  ...
|||  |||
|||  |||
|||  |||
|||-1.5 cm---|||
The margin line at 1.0 cm is not showed up.
The margin line at 0.5 cm is not showed up.

If I set up the printer right then I expect the following picture with 
printed margin lines:

|---0.5 cm-|
||--1.0 cm||
|||-1.5 cm---|||
|||  |||
|||  |||
|||  |||
...  ...
|||  |||
|||  |||
|||  |||
|||-1.5 cm---|||
||--1.0 cm||
|---0.5 cm-|

How can I set up the printer to get printed documents like this?

Any advices is appreciated!

Printer setup howto

[Csanyi Pal]

Hello!

How can I setup margins correlated to the edges of A4 paper?

I have the printer HP Business Inkjet 1000 and use the hpjis driver to 
print.

If I use Gnome-cups-manager to setup the printer, and I print a test 
page therein with format paper of A4, then to check margin settings, I 
can use a ruler to verify that margin lines are printed at 0.5, 1, and 
1.5 cm from the edge of the paper on all sides.

I verified these margin lines and get the results
from the top edge:
instead of 0.5 cm - 0.6 cm
instead of 1 cm - 1.1 cm
instead of 1.5 cm - 1.6 cm
from the right edge:
instead of 0.5 cm - 0.8 cm
instead of 1 cm - 1.3 cm
instead of 1.5 cm - 1.8 cm
from the bottom edge:
0.5 cm - don't show up  !!!
1 cm - don't show up!!!
1.5 cm - 1.5 cm
from the left edge:
0.5 cm - 0.3 cm
1 cm - 0.8 cm
1.5 cm - 1.3 cm

How can I setup these margin lines to the right dimension?
Why don't show up the margin lines from the bottom edge of the paper at 
0.5 cm and 1 cm?

If I do Align Cartridges... within HP Linux Imaging and Printing System 
window, then the printer print 2 pages and on the first page print at 
bottom corners 2 point:
from the left edge 0.6 cm
from the right edge 0.6 cm
from the bottom edge 0.5 cm

Accordingly to this abowe the printer can print from all edge of paper 
A4 at 0.5 cm, but when I try to print say a draw.dxf from QCAD 
application, then the printer don't print at the bottom edge of A4 
paper. Why don't print there?

I appreciate any advices!

Hello.  I'm trying to set up a printer on a Pentium II running Sarge, with a
2.4.27 kernel image.  The printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 890, and I've 
successfully
found the driver for it (gimpprint).  However, nothing happens when I try to
print a test page for it.  When I check the status of the print jobs on 
http://localhost:631,
it tells me "client-error-not-possible".  What does this mean, and how do I

It's been a while since I used oopadmin (to add a 940C, as an aside) but
if my memory serves me correctly oopadmin will not show any files in the
directory you browsed to. Hit OK (or the equivalent) anyway, restart
oopadmin, and the HP940C should be in the list of printers you can
select from, along with all the others in that directory. Again, at
least that's the way I remember it.

Sorry!  I forgot to mention I am running OO 1.1.1 in KDE 3.2.2
I don't know whether the HP info 
in  /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer comes from OO or KDE - I 
suspect the latter (or of coure from something completely different 
)

How very strange.  I think this must be a version problem 
because /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer is precisely where my HP 
printers are listed, eg

[..]
HP-DeskJet_1600C.xml 
HP-DeskJet_1600CM.xml
HP-DeskJet_200.xml   
HP-DeskJet_310.xml 
HP-DeskJet_320.xml

Thanks Chris, I'll try to get the unstable version.  In the meantime I have
researched the problem a little more.  The printer in question is an HP
940C attached to Box #1.  Printing from OpenOffice works on Box #2 and
the driver CUPS is using is HP-DeskJet_930C Foomatic/hpijs. Using locate
the file HP-DeskJet_940C-hpijs.ppd.gz is found on both boxes in
/usr/share/ppd/HP.  

If oopadmin is started on Box #1 the add printer option apparently looks
in the /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer directory - at least the
only choices it offers are found in that directory and DeskJet drivers
are not among these choices.

oopadmin add printer has a browse option which can be used to switch to
the /usr/share/ppd/HP directory where HP-DeskJet_940C-hpijs.ppd.gz is
located.  oopadmin believes that directory is empty.

As noted in the original posting, other programs on Box #1 can use the
printer with no difficulty.  For example, lp
/usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps prints a perfect test page.

I hope this information may be of some use.

I'm afraid the version in testing still has several problems.  If you
can manage it, try upgrading to the version I just uploaded to unstable,
which fixes many printing bugs.  It'll be a while until this gets into
testing since we have to wait for dependencies with the KDE integration.

OOo Printer Setup Frustration

[Thomas H. George]

I have two boxes both using a kernel completed from kernel-source-2.4.26 
and both using CUPS and openoffice.org.

Both have the latest dist-upgrade from testing.
On both I have edited /etc/openoffice/openoffice.conf and have enabled 
export SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1.

One box finds its attached printer, allows me to set the paper size and 
prints correctly.

The other box does not find its attached printer and insists on using a 
generic printer which only spits out dozens of blank pages.  If, 
instead, I comment out export SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1  openoffice finds the 
attached printer but it is not possible to set the paper size and 
nothing prints.

CUPS printing works perfectly on both boxes for all other applications.
I am at a loss to find the difference between the two systems.

Once you get a Debian CUPS print server set up properly, you
will be very happy.  Here is a really good howto:

http://bevilacqua.us/HowTo/MichaelBevilacqua/CUPS/Debian/HowTo.txt

This one is good as well but seems to be down:

xsane printer setup

[Thomas H. George]

I'm just getting started with xsane with an epson 2400 scanner and an 
epson c82 printer.  I am using cups so the print command from the 
console is lp.  The xsane copy works only if  I use lpr for the print 
command and then the output is all black to green.  Obviously I can 
fiddle with the color setting to improve on this but I wonder if there 
is a setup option somewhere which sets the color balance for specified 
printers?

I actually found that (through google, IIRC) and was helpful.  Thanks.  

I can print the test page without any problem, and printing from most X
clients seems to work -- although I need to find how/if I can tell the
clients to not print dark background.

Where I have not had luck is trying to print from gimp.  I've selected
my printer's ppd in gimp, but it still is trying to send postscript to
the printer.

I did install  cupsomatic-ppd and cupsys-driver-gimpprint.

Haven't had time to research how to let my wife's Windows laptop print
to it, yet.

Man this stuff eats time!

I suggest apsfilter. I have much better experience with it:
apt-get --purge remove magicfilter
apt-get install apsfilter
apsfilterconfig
lpc reread

Check if regular printing works with lpr PSFILE or a2ps ASCII-FILE.

Then in KDE (logged in as the regular user) go to
ControlCenter->System->Printing and set the print system (at bottom) to
UNIX-LPD-print-system.

Now, printing for that user should work even from KDE. Test it by
printing a text file from Konqueror.

This worked for me and now my printing system is set up properly the
first time. :-)

I have an HP1200 that I set up to work with CUPS.  I have a very
unofficial CUPS howto here:

http://stults.dyndns.org/~bs7452/linuxhelp/

It is a little heavy on instructions for printing via samba, but should
be helpful even if your printer is connected directly to the parallel
port (that's how my HP1200 is set up).

I have both the HP 1100 on /dev/lp0 and Epson Stylus Photo 870 on
/dev/usb/lp0.  I'm having trouble printing to /dev/usb/lp0, when I do it
tries to print to /dev/lp0 instead.  I have more pressing problems to
deal with at the moment though.  When I used the Epson with gimp-print
on lp0 the output was excellent.

I had magicfilter installed, but after installing cups I don't know what
became of it.  I installed cupsys  cupsys-client  cupsys-ppd
cupsys-driver-gimprint  qtcups and xpp.

I'm assuming this is the Laserjet 1100.

See http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=62816
for suggestions.

Note that CUPS should work with gimp-print. See the link on the above page
to the Howto at http://www.ebbs.com.au/~mark/cups-gimp-print.html

You might also want to take a look at the Debian package
cupsys-driver-gimpprint, which looks like it is relevant. It might be all
you need as far as gimp-print goes. So you won't need to do the compiling
as described in the howto. Let me know how it goes for you.

Printer Setup (hp 1100)

[Bill Moseley]

Before spending too much time reading dated docs, is their a current 
Debian-specific howto/doc on setting up printing?

I installed magicfilter, and now looking at CUPS, but not sure if they can be 
used together - or if they conflict.

Anyone using an HP1100 that can share their experience?

Also, I'm looking at using an Epson photo printer, soon.  Is there support for 
good photo-quality printing with that printer series yet?

Thanks,

Jumping on the printer setup problem bandwagon

[Curtis Vaughan]

Background info: Using potato
installed: lprng
installed: apsfilter

Apsfilter seems to have successfully set up my printer.  I assume this as it 
successfully printed the test sheet.  When I try to print any file from bash 
(i.e., cat printcap > /dev/lp0), however, paper just runs through the printer 
with nothing printed.

Any ideas?

Hi Jack,

I had similar problems. I now use 2.4.17 with the USB bits compiled as 
modules.

I have also changed to using CUPS from Woody. Although it is not a 
dependency I found that usbutils helped as well.

CUPS and the latest gs seems to send the correct string that wakes up the 880 
on the USB port.

If I can help further give me a shout.

USB Printer setup

[Jack Pistachio]

I'm having some trouble setting up an Epson Stylus Color
880 USB printer on my linux system.  I've compiled a new
2.4.17 kernel since the 'older' 2.2.x kernels do not have
much in the way of USB support without a patch (or so I've
heard).  Seems to be working fine and my OHCI USB port can
detect and talk primitively with the printer (i.e. it shows
up in /proc/bus/usb/devices).  
However I can't print.  Tried using LPD and LPRng with
magicfilter and apsfilter but I'm not sure which filter
specifically is best with the printer. I doubt that is even
the problem since I can only get anything printed by using
'cat file.txt > /dev/lp0' when the printer is on the
parallel port instead of the USB.  I tried a similiar
command with the USB and I get nothing.  Has anybody
installed an Epson USB printer that can give me some
suggestions or pointers on what they had to do?  Thanks.

The following lines are in /var/log/messages:

but still /proc/bus/usb/devices is an empty file.

I would expect /proc/bus/usb/devices to at least list your USB root hub.
On boot or when you first load usbcore.o and usb-uhci.o/uhci.o/ohci.o

USB Printer Setup Problem

[Thomas H. George,,,]

I have an Epson StylusColor 860 which I wish to use on a usb port.  I 
compiled my 2.2.19 kernel with usb support, usb file support and usb 
printer.  cat /proc/bus/usb/devices is emplty, cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers 
shows:


 hub
 usbdevfs
 0- 15: usblp

I have checked BIOS (and that other operating? system accesses the 
printer with no difficulty).  One reference lists a long series of codes 
to be sent by uniprint to wake up the printer in usb mode but apt-get 
doesn't know about uniprint.


Is there a good stable solution to this problem?

Laser printer setup with lprng

[Robert Martinovic]

Hey,

I am trying to setup a Lexmark Optra M410 laser printer over a small
lan, and have so far come to nothing.

I have used both apsfilter and magicfilter to set up /etc/printcap,
but when I lp or lpr a job, nothing happens.

Can anyone help? This is a native postscript printer

debian ghostscript does not support epson printers.  its missing the
stp driver which seems to be the only way rumored to make the damn
things work.  personally i gave up on it and found a user apple
laserwriter, it has postscript support and is thus trivial to make
work.

either the ssh in sid has a new release critical bug, or it is not
synced on all archetectures, or it depends on something not in
testing, or the maintainer keeps uploading new versions/builds of it
so it never gets the mandatory 10 day aging process completed.  there
is an update-excuses page somewhere that gives vague clues as to why a
package fails the testing script.

This wasn't necessary for my Epson Color 900 at work with CUPS (which
seems to support Epson quite well!), but YMMV!

You also need Ghostscript ("apt-cache search gs"; prefer gs-aladdin,
don't forget the fonts) for aps-/magicfilter and lpr/lprng/... CUPS, on
the other hand, uses .ppd's (PS Printer Definitions, like drivers) and
its own spooling mechanism.

Probably, but I had some problems with the web interface, on potato (no

Printer setup?

[Patrick Mauro]

I can't seem to figure out how to set up my printer under linux.  I've done 
almost everything else (with some help in some areas) but I've found that 
setting up a printer is now well documented.

I have an Epson Stylus Color 400.  I want to be able to use it with text, 
pictures, netscape, star office, etc... Well, everything.

What do I do?  I've been reading vague references to CUPS, magicfilter, 
apsfilter, stp, etc, etc.

Near as I can tell, I use stty -a and /etc/printcaps to set up my printer to 
accept plain text.  (any expansion on this would be great).

There's some references to using lp and lpd to set it up.

Do I just need to install some spooling software to deal with the conversion to 
postscript? (If so, is this what all this apsfilter, magicfilter, CUPS stuff is 
about?).  

What packages do I need to install and what are the general steps afterwards?  
>From what I've been reading, CUPS is supposed to be the easiest to set up, but 
is it what I want?

I also have one more question, why does woody have such an old version of 
openSSH in it?  Why isn't it closer to 2.5 (I know, it's not sid, which has 
2.5.2p2, but it's running the same version from potato).

Thanks a whole bunch for your help.

I just found this:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=80424&repeatmerged=yes

Looks like it will be fixed in the newer version, or restarting cups
might show the backends long enough to configure it.  (Afaik, this bug
won't affect printing once they printers are set up.)

OK, this is freaky: I did an 'apt-get --purge remove cupsys' and then 
'apt-get install cupsys'. I did make sure that the backend/lpd file was 
there. And after going to http://localhost:631, CUPS only offered me 
the 'Disk File' option and the various serial ports. Not even ipp.
And yes, I am pretty sure that I am running version 1.1.4-3.

That is great but I had some problems - maybe you can help me out wit
that one 

I installed 1.1.6 the same way you are suggesting and all went fine. I
then tried installing kups which is a nicer interface  as part of
kups comes 'libcupsys2'. As part of libcupsys2 the system tries to
install libcupsimage.so.2 which is already present from cups. Apt-get
basically aborts at that point and can't get past this error. 
Did you have the same problem ? Do you use kups ? How did you resolve
the issue ?

I had problems with that version not seeing all my ports. This problem
is fixed in 1.1.6. I actually emailed the package maintainer for cups
with the suggestion of upgrading the deb archives but I have heard
nothing back so far. 
I have some other issues with 1.1.6 which I have mentioned in a reply
to another poster in this thread.

Are you sure you're running that version?  (Maybe you need to restart
cups, though I believe the install does that.)  On my 1.1.4-3, "LPD/LPR
Host or Printer" is listed on the web tool right after IPP.

Check to make sure you have a /usr/lib/cups/backend/lpd file... it's
in the cupsys package.
