cups -newbie
Hi all, Just got woody installed, sound is ok today and now am rather frustrated to get my canon s450 working. apsfilter, magicfilter, turboprint, printtool and cups (deb package) have been tried without results. my modules showed by lsmod: .. parport_pc 22280 1 (autoclean) lp 6496 0 (autoclean) parport23360 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] printer 5696 0 usb-uhci 21508 0 (unused) usbcore49696 1 [printer usb-uhci] ... /etc/printcap is empty now. Now I made up my mind, to choose and think only of cups. just downloaded and installed cups from http://www.cups.org/. as I typed this: "# lpinfo -v", I got this "lpinfo: cups-get-devices failed: server-error-service-unavailable" the flwg were also tested: 1. "# echo "hello, world" > /dev/lp0" produced no answer. 2. "echo "hello, world" > /dev/lp1", produced "bash: /dev/lp1: No such device or address" Could someone help me please?

CUPS configuration
Hi, Is there a tool to configure printers in cups. I know about kups but this tool is not in the debian archive and I would prefer stay without kde libs. Ideally I would like a tool detecting available printers on the intranet (like kups do). Otherwise what is the best way to find and/or configure printers with cups? NOTE: I know about gtklp but this tool only use cups when printers are configured. Thanks, Christophe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

When I I don't know if it's related, but I had a similar problem on FreeBSD with cups, after a couple months of uptime all-of-a-sudden CUPS was printing SLOW(slow as in 1 page per 10 minutes). Turns out my parallel port was not configured for interrupt driven operation(which, by default is off in linux, and apparently freeBSD). if your using kernel 2.2 do something like: echo 7 >/proc/parport/0/irq (where 7 is the IRQ of your parallel port, most often it is 7) if your using kernel 2.4 I believe you need to specify the option on the command line(or in modules.conf) something like: modprobe lp irq=7 see if it speeds it up ?? nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

In order to use this on CUPS effectively, you should install the kdelibs3-cups package. This has made it quite easy for me to configure and re-configure my printer. It has a neat wizzard that leads you through the config steps and allows you to test the setup before final exit. BTW, this is all on CUPS and KDE from Debian stable and/or testing.

Yes. Guessing the uri. As far as I know it's possible to detect available network printers and I am looking for a tool that find them and propose me to add them in my cups settings without asking me obscure questions. Today I was able to guess the correct syntax for one printer but it's more luck than anything. Otherwise the web interface is very convenient.

You have to configure printers that are not controlled by CUPS on other systems, but one you do, CUPS will detect other CUPS and find the printers for you. I use KDE and when I print anything it just gives me a list of printers to choose from..

Opera and KDE don't detect it.. Which interface did you use to set up your printer? When you set up the printer, you'd have had to give it a name.

I switched to cups about a month ago, but I only have one printer so I never got to the browse features. At the risk of repeating what you already know: Debian turns browsing off by default. See /usr/doc/cupsys/README.Debian.gz. You will need to modify the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to enable browsing. I believe cups will only discover other cups printers and servers. I was under the impression that with browsing you never had to do anything to detect printers, cups auto discovered them. Cheers!

Foomatic and CUPS
I was under the impression that one could simply install foomatic and then CUPS would then be able to present the available printers and drivers to the user. CUPS would then call foomatic-configure on behalf of the user to automatically put together a ppd file. This isn't the case. I learned through clever detective work that I could inject my printer into the CUPS menus with: foomatic-compiledb -t cups hpijs cd /usr/share/cups/model ln -s /etc/foomatic/ppd/HP-OfficeJet_G85-hpijs.ppd Am I missing something, or is this the intent?

Cups broke spontaneously
Hey. this is really wierd.. my printer (Epson Stylus Color Photo 700), setup with cups worked last time i used it, about a week ago. However, I went to use it today, and i would try to print something, nothing would come out. I Have changed NOTHING since except updated Debian (sid).. which i think got a new version of cups. Anyway, after checking the web interface and the log it returns this error when i try to print: "Fatal error: Unable to load PPD file "/etc/cups/ppd/Epson.ppd" that's all the error output it gives. I have no idea WHY it can't load the file... The file exists, I tried changing the permissions of the file, to make sure that wasn't the problem. I also tried Purging and re-installing cups and all the related parts gimp-print, gs, ect... So as far as it goes now, i'm clueless, but i'd love to have this working again shortly, i need to print a homework assignment :-P Any information would be greatly appreciated.

cups wont print
hello, I recently setup an epson 740 printer using cupsys from unstable. I can send jobs just fine, and cups shows them as "completed", and /var/log/cups/error_log doesn't show any problems. But nothing comes out of the printer... Cups is under the impression that everything printed just fine, but nothing actually happens. I have tried both the foomatic driver and the gimp-print driver, same problem. If I reboot into windows, everything prints fine, so no hardware problems. History: I had printing working on this machine a long time ago, but recently tried to print only to find "error 22" problems, so I purged cups and installed from unstable, and how I have my current situation. is this a known issue? someone else on #debian is having the exact same problem, and is also using unstable. thanks, jason pepas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Slow printing through CUPS
I'm using CUPS to print to a network printer attached to a Windows 2000 box. All printing is done via SMB. The big problem is that when I'm printing from one of my Debian machines, the speed is absolutely horrible. Approx 3 - 5 MINUTES per page. When printing from a Windows box, I get about 3 - 5 PAGES per minute. Is there any easy way to figure out what's wrong on the CUPS side? Or would I be better off just connecting the printer to a Debian box and running CUPS with printing over IPP? Any suggestions? -Alex signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I first used lprng, then switched over to CUPS. Both printed *really well* but very slowly. My bride could send over one of her print jobs from win98 and it would print very quickly.

Simply backup your current config files and save them somewhere safe.

For finding (and installing) these programs, you might use dselect and search for cups packages (/cups). An alternative is 'apt-cache search cups' for locating packages you will want or need, then apt-get install.

I recently did this. It was actually quite straightforward.
First, I made a copy of my working /etc/printcap
Then I purged lpd using dselect
Then I selected cupsys in dselect and took all the suggestions.
After that everything worked so well I can't really remember what I
did. Had to read a few documents, a few false starts but nothing out
of the ordinary.
I have a HP Deskjet 672C on a parallel port.

HP 5550 & CUPS & (USB | PAR)
I just purchased the new HP 5550 Deskjet, however, I'm having major
problems getting things to work.
First, I install CUPS, hpijs, ghostscript, and the ppd file. It looks
like cupsomatic and foomatic scripts were
already installed(or upon installation of those mentioned)
When I configure the printer through the CUPS web or command line, and
try to test print, it says that everything
worked fine, but nothing actualy printed.
This happens when I attempt to use the printer as a parallel or USB printer.
In the /var/log/cups/error_log, I found the following:

CUPS - unable to print postscript file
I got my printer to work and I thought I was done. Guess not. I can take text files and pipe them through enscript and they print just fine. However $ lp somepsfile.ps gives me rows of barcode-like lines on the printout. I read the user manual and it said that CUPS understands the postscript filetype directly.

Problem w/ printing from apps (CUPS)
Hi, I'm having a problem w/ CUPS, I set up my printer (it's a Lexmark Optra K 1220 hooked to a windoze machine downstairs), and the test page prints out fine. I tried printing some obj-c source files from the console (`lpr foobar.m`), and that worked fine too. Printing emails from applications doesn't work however, I tried printing some emails from mozilla-mail, and nothing happened (it does show up as 'stdin' in the completed jobs section of the cups status page). Then I tried printing a pdf file, and a OpenOffice document, none of those worked either. I tried 'printing to file' my OpenOffice document, and then doing 'lpr openoffice.ps', which also resulted in nothing (all of these jobs do show up as completed in the cups status page though).

Re: HP 5550 & CUPS & (USB | PAR)
Ok, I renamed foomatic-gswrapper to *.orig, and I got a test page to
print. However, it only printed
the following message: " Unable to open the initial device, quitting."
The paper then remains in the printer with out feeding, and I have to
manually eject it.
I'm thinking that the hpijs driver fails, which causes the paper not to
feed out.
Ok, so the printer is seen, but if the intial device can not be opened,
why would I get the printed mesage of this?
Two questions:
1. Does anyone know what can cause this failure with hpijs?
2. Why would foomatic prevent this senerio taking place, even though it
is a failed attempt?

CUPS: landscape printing of a PostScript file
Hi, Some time ago, I switched from LPRng to CUPS. I thought I had tested everything I needed so everything seemed to work fine, until I had to print a postscript file (created with latex using the landscape option, converted from dvi to ps using dvips). When I open the file in gv, it is shown as landscape, but when I send it to the printer, using lp -o landscape .ps, it is printed incorrectly i.e.: it seems that cups sends the landscape output (as seen in gv) straigt to the printer (where the pages are fed in portrait); it seems that cups does not rotate the page 90 degrees to adapt it to the way paper is put in the printer. When I browsed through the ppd file (HP LaserJet 6L: foomatic + ljet4), I found "*LandscapeOrientation: Plus90" but I do not know where | if it is used. Any idea what might be wrong? P.S.: when I used LPRng, this worked fine (using the ljet4 filter from the magicfilter package). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." -- Henry Spencer msg00658/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

All I can say is that you're not alone. My non-solution has been to print directly from the application, say, kword or abiword. I suspect it has something to do with the ghostscript version used by cups. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

By chance, are these Postscript files from xpdf? I have the problem when printing Postscript files generated from pdf files using xpdf, otherwise, all other Postscript files print perfectly.

Nope, these Postscript files are not generated by xpdf. One was generated by muttprint, the other was generated by enscript. Like I stated, if I pipe a text file through enscript directly to lp, it prints fine. However, I am unable to print the Postscript file generated by enscript from the same text file. > > Happy to help, Thanks.

First, I use the "Printing Manager" in KDE to set up CUPS. All of the rest is in reference to this utility. If you select your printer from the "Printing Manager" initial screen you will get a window with 4 Tabs. The last Tab is called "Instances". If you select the "Instances" tab on the right side will be a listing of possible additional selections. Select "Settings". This will bring up a new window,with again a series of 3 Tabs, the last of which will be called "Filters". When you select this, you will get yet another screen where you can add or remove various filters. I had to add the "PDF Writer" filter in order to get xpdf & acroread to print out. As I recall there was one for enscript plus a couple of more. I suggest you play around with these filters and see what happens Cheers, -Don Spoon- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My printer's acting up; so much so that it prints better in Linux than in Windows. It's only printing b/w even though the ink levels are fine for other colors. Once I get the hardware issues sorted out, I will revisit the software issues. Thanks for the tip. KDE print worked out great for some of the tweaking. -Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can't find any provision for this on the web site and can't see how to do that. On the other hand, I've noted that 'lpr text.test' prints well, and that my system recognises the EPSON Stylus Photo 700 as connected and ready to print. What am I missing here ? Adam.

Since I'm not familiar with the printer, make sure that you have Debug logging turned on in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf , restart CUPS, and try printing the system. Check out the log for things that may not be configured correctly. If you need a hand, you can send the log and I'll take a look over it.

Can you update your HPIJS to version 1.2.2?
