Problems with printing/scanning on Squeeze on a Lexmark aio
Hello, all! This is a cross-post. I posted to the Trinity list several days ago. It transpires that it is not a Trinity problem, so I am asking here. After a few days, if necessary, I shall go to the CUPS list. I have had the following cris de coeur from the user of a computer that I administer. The old system means Debian Lenny with KDE 3.5.10, which is still there on a separate partition and can be booted into from Grub. I had previously successfully installed Debian Squeeze with Trinity 3.5.12 on his wife's laptop without a problem, and it is running well, including printing and scanning. The installation for the wife was from scratch and there was nothing to restore. The husband had a lot to restore. The printer and scanner form part of an aio, a Lexmark Interact C605. The initial problem with the printer was that when I came to install it on a 64 bit system (Lenny had been 32 bit) I found that the driver was only available in a 32 bit version. I found a 64 bit driver - not on Lexmark's site, of course :-( - and all seemed to be well. The story carries on below in emails from the owner of the machines. I am baffled as to how a driver can work one minute and not the next. :-( I do hope that I haven't managed to install some sort of malware masquerading as a driver. 12/08/07 (yy/mm/dd) quote We still have some snags with the new system I'm afraid. 1)The scanner will not work although it still does in the old system so I know the scanner is working OK. 2)The printer works from e-mail OK except that it will not print attachments which are in PDF although I can read them aok. /quote 12/08/16 quote The printer which was working aok in the new system (apart from pdf format)has now ceased to function completely again although it is working still in the old system. /quote His wife can still print from her laptop. I had expected to find that the problem with the scanner was a matter of groups and permissions, but it would appear not; or anyhow, not entirely. Any suggestions for solutions, other than reinstall with 32 bit and Trinity 3.5.12, gratefully received. Though this is beginning to look like the only viable solution. I ought, of course, to have checked, before I abandoned 32 bit, that all the necessary drivers were available in 64 bit. :-( Thanks, Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Problems with printing postcript files created by dvips in testing
Hi I installed Debian on a new computer. I upgraded to testing and I have some unstable packages like epiphany-browser mozilla ++ My problem is that when I make postscript files of my latex files using dvips the printer won't print them. I have to run ps2ps on them to make them print. The old ps files I have made with dvips(k) 5.86e is working fine, however not with dvips(k) 5.92b I tried to downgrade to the stable tetex, but I got errors when trying to run dvips. Does anybody know what is the cause of this? Thanks in advance. Preben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problems with printing from XEmacs w/lprng
Hello, When I print something from XEmacs using the Pretty-Print *buffer* option in the file menu, everything goes fine the first time around, but when I go and try to print something else it doesn't, however if I first do an lpq and _then_ print something else, it works. BTW, I'm using lprng 3.8.15-1. It seems to me it's a problem with lprng. Any ideas about what's going on here?

Re: Problems with printing
Well, Wayne, I don't really think a Debian potato distribution fails in a strategic and basic piece of software such as apsfilter. I rather think there's something wrong in my configuration relating to authorizations but I don't know where and what to manipulate. Perhaps I missed to define some special group, or whatever else. What strikes me is that the test which apsfilterconfig suggests works great, while any following attempt to print dies unexpectedly. Any suggestion to fix it before eliminating apsfilter?

Vittorio Well I messed with it for a few hours and could never get it to print anything as nice as the test page (which was really nice). I read all the docs but could not get the results I wanted on the printer. I am sure that it is a good package as many people do use it. I just could not get it working correctly. That said, maybe someone else can point you to what need fixing. Magicfilter took less then 5 minutes to get working and another few minutes to set up a2ps and i was up and runing. I needed a working printer so I took the path of least resistance. BTW, you should set your lines to a 70-72 char length for this list. Good luck! You should be getting responses from those who did get apsfilter running. regards -- Everyone can be taught to sculpt: Michelangelo would have had to be taught how __not to.

Problems with printing
I have two, not unconnected problems I suspect, with printing. The first is directly from linux, in that when it comes out the printer, its stepped across the page and is unreadable. Is there an easy method to fix that? The second is via samba. At the present moment the server is not visible on the network from windows boxes but directories can be mounted. At the same time though, printing returns the network name cannot be found when attempted from a windows box. Any ideas? cheers Brian -- Brian Ross, Network Manager Voice +61-1-2-6279-8336 John Curtin School of Medical Research Fax +61-1-2-6247-4823 Australian National University
