[expert] Printing with mandrake 9.1
is there anyway to make the print drivers automatically pull down when you install a printer? Under windows Nt , 2k or 2003 server the drivers get pulled down automatically. James S.

So although the approach is different the affect is the same in this case. All that I'll add to this is that it's not entirely clear from the wording of the initial question whether or not the printing being done is local or remote, and if it's remote, whether we are dealing with Linux-Linux, Linux-Win, or Win-Linux. James's answer covers local and Linux-Linux situations nicely, and the printerdrake app should be able to set CUPS up properly in like manner when adding a remote printer that is being shared from a Win box, but jobs being sent from a Win box to a Linux-connected printer are different. They are processed by Samba, and there are two ways to set this up: have the Win system(s) install and use the appropriate Win driver for that printer, or have Samba use the CUPS driver and set up the Win system(s) to use the Generic Postscript Printer driver. Once you decide which method is best for you, you need to use the correct print command entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf to implement your choice.

Hi all, Since installing RC2 I've not been able to print. The printer I use is a samba share located on a Mandrake 8.2 server running samba. Its been this way for over a year now and has/is working perfectly. Which leads me to believe the problem is indeed within RC2 on the workstation. ( its really the only problem this version seems to have. ) RC1 and beta2 had no problem at all printing to this samba shared printer. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this problem and if so, what did you do to correct the problem? -- Mark If necessity is the mother of invention, then who's the father? --- Paid for by Penguins against modern appliances(R) Linux User Since 1996 Powered by Mandrake Linux 8.2 9.1 ICQ# 27816299 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Not knowing the answer to the OO problem, I wonder if you might find
this simple envelope-writing program useful:

I keep text files of my clients' addresses, including zip+4, which can
be obtained here: http://www.cedar.buffalo.edu/adserv.html
With the ~/.enveloperc file configured, returnaddress file giving my

function e() { /home/rolf/envelope/envelope $1|lpr -P tp0; }
I just type
e (address file)
to get the evelope printed out with bar code. FWIW, I find it nifty ;)

I use xpp when printing from a browser, so that I get access to my printer setups (one printer, four configurations), and it works well. However, the problem comes when, for instance, I want to print out a faq from a docs directory. I open them in a text editor, but for some reason they don't print correctly. If I open them in KWord I lose the first page. It's most odd. I can print other kinds of documents correctly as 2-up. You would not expect plain text documents to be the cause of problems.

Do you have CUPS installed? Describe in detail what you see when you open something like KWORD and try to print. Are you printing to a local machine or one on the network?

Re: [expert] Printing in KDE
Not to ruffle anyone's feathers but printing in Linux has never been something I've been impressed with. The colors are always off and I find that almost always the image is not properly centered. As a consequence I've always used Windows based print servers. Jim C. Has anyone else had difficulties print in kde?

Something that has changed recently in CUPS is that, whereas 'kprinter' worked as the print command for applications that print, it now needs to be 'kprinter --stdin'. If you can set the GIMP print command to kprinter --stdin, I think it would work. I had the analogous experience with Mozilla. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [expert] Printing under Security level Higher
hmmm, I would love to use the higer security models in 8.2 and nine, but what stopped me is that stuff that works in earlier hosts.allow/hosts.deny doesn't seem to work the same in them as it does in earlier versions.. (7.2) for example, in 7.2: hosts.deny sshd: ALL in hosts.allow sshd: 123.123.123.123 and that allowed that host (123.123.123.123) to connect, but no-one else... however, in 8.1 and 8.2 boxes, (and nine I am assuming, but haven't tried) This doesn't work, it blocks all access to sshd and doesn't allow the hosts specified to connect.. so up to now my method is to log into webmin (which is ip locked) on those box's, and use it to hash out the hosts.deny rule, and log in via ssh.. when I am finished updating, I put the hosts.deny line back in.. anyone know what the format of this is with the newer versions?

Re: [expert] PRINTING REMOTE FILES IN LOCAL PRINTER
Unfortunately when you are connected to a remote box its the same as if you were on the console of that remote box. In other words it has none of the facilities of the box your keyboard is attached to. In short a telnet or ssh session is really just like having a very very long cable from that computer to your monitor. So if you print a file on that box it will go to that boxes printer. Now if that box and yours are on the same lan it would be possible to install a remote cups printer or samba printer on it so that it can access your printer. But over the net this isn't the case. Your best bet is to ftp it to the box connected to your keyboard and print it locally. James On Sun, 2002-09-29 at 06:52, Carlos Cifuentes wrote: I am conected with telnet to a remote server.

[expert] printing problems
I have downloaded a pdf file that I wish to print. It is only 8 pages long and 306k in size. I have an HP Deskjet 845C, Mandrake 8.2, using cups. I have also tried different drivers - CUPS and Gimp print, foomatic and Gimp print, and Gimp print and hpij. None have worked to print this file. It is not corrupted, I can view it with acroread or kghostview without difficulty. What happens no matter what I do is the printer prints all of one line: the page number and journal title from which it derives. From then, my printer light simply blinks and blinks as if it is accepting/processing a file but nothing comes of it no matter how long I wait. If I run lpq I get: active praedor 2 KDE Print System103424 bytes I assume the file size difference from 306k to 103k is due to changing from pdf to ps for printing (?). Anyone have any ideas?

[expert] printing problem - SAMBA socket in use?

Re: [expert] Printing
Thanks for the info, will follow up when I get chance; still doesn't alter the fact that this is an area where microcrap winblows (in my experience) is way ahead, and through all those linux versions, I've seen little improvement. For the record, in every other area, I much prefer Linux, especially Mandrake (but I still feel that 7.2 is probably their best version; notwithstanding all the features of 8.x) I support a large heterogenous LAN/WAN, that consists of all version of windows from 3.x on up, linux servers, NT servers, VAX, and a smattering of Mac clients. I also support the PBX system, and provide training. I like linux, and I try to promote it as much as possible, but I simply DO NOT have the time to sit and tweak. The computer(s) I am trying to get running are not the latest and greatest, they don't use the super gee-whiz graphics card, or mondo sound dolby 5.1, or some other way custom feature. They are basic workstations. With Mandrake I can drop the CD in, install eveything without having to tweak EXCEPT printing. Personally, I don't print very often, I keep all my paperwork on my laptop. The 100's of users I support though, need printing, and I can't spend days tweaking services.

Re: [expert] Printing
I haven't tried that printer on W2K or XP yet, but a note on hardware; many newer computers allow you to set the parallel port as spp(old standard) or epp (newer faster). You might want to check this setting in the BIOS. I had this problem with older HPII's and HPIII's when users upgraded their computers, suddenly the printer quit, and no Windblows settings would work. Once I set the port in BIOS (to SPP), no muss, no fuss, no bother.

I can print with my laptop in Windows (gf likes win better) with no problem. So I assume the driver wouldn't be the issue, but I am sure I am wrong here :) Here is my Samba printers section though. [printers] comment = All Printers path = /tmp read only = No create mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers. lpq command = lpstat -o %p lprm command = cancel %p-%j browseable = No Cups is set up and sees the printer fine, and verified through the cups web-gui. I have tried printing from many progs on this system with no success. Any help appreciated. Brian D. Klar - CVE OTS WPAFB Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

As you have discovered when doing a :hardcopy filename.ps the output is size A4, the default in vim. A safe printoptions setting to try is: :set printoptions=paper:A4,duplex:off,collate:n,syntax:n Replace A4 with the paper size that best matches your printer paper.

[expert] Printing
I have configured my printer using the Mandrake tool, which uses cups (the test page reports that the printer was set up using cups). This is an HP PS500 sitting on a Windows 2000 system, using SAMBA. The printer works fine when I am root, but when I am logged on as me, my requests are ignored (from Netscape, etc.). If I do am lpstat, I am prompted for a username and password. I have added myself to the lp group, so when I input the username and password lpstat delivers the information I have requested. This also works when I lpr filename. Along with the virtues of being able to print from Netscape, this problem also seems to be impeding Open Office from working for a user other than root (it just hangs there, come up fairly quickly from root). I have perused the documents, and it appears they have skipped over this very issue everywhere I look. thanks, mg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Check whether you have a file /etc/printcap and whether it is readable by you as a user (non-root). You can tell cups to create that file but it is not needed for cups. On the other hand many applications depend on it to determine which printers are available (although using xpp rather than lpr is much better).

[expert] Printing is slow with CUPS
I've finally managed to get my systems printing through a shared CUPS printer, but it takes about 5 minutes for an e-mail message shorter than this one to print from Mozilla. Also, stuff in the 'Options...' window of qtcups always resets to localhost, even though I have to put in the IP address of the print server for it to actually print. What can I do to fix either of these problems? - Theo

[expert] Printing problems with KDE 2.1 and cups/kups
I am running KDE 2.1 with cups-1.1.6, kups-1.1-4mdk, qtcups-2.1-7mdk. I have an Epson Color Stylus 600. I can startup and testprint from kups as superuser/root but if I try this as a user, kups freezes up and bogs down my whole system - kpm indicates in the neighborhood of 99% CPU usage. This goes on indefinitely. It also shows a process, "lpr -lpd" also consuming 99% of my CPU (of course, two apps cannot be both using 99% of my CPU). The only way to unfreeze kups is to kill the "lpr -lpd" process. If I try to print from any kde app (konqueror, kmail), the app will freeze up and slow my system down in the same way that kups does. In no case is a printout EVER produced. Also, the print job never show up in the printer queue. Not in kups (which is frozen of course) nor does it show up in kups if I am running it as root and try to print from kmail or konqueror as a user. If I do an "lpq" from the CLI as well, nothing ever appears in the queue. I only have the one printer so there is only the one queue. It only ever show a queued print job if I do the CLI printing of a postscript file. As a user I CAN print from the CLI using the "lpr some postscript file" without any problems. I have tried both the foomatic+stccolor, foomatic, foomatic + gimp-print, as well as various versions of gimp-print available to me in the driver list. As root, again, I have no problem printing test pages from kups with these drivers, but as user... -- Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain. --
