I usually update the /etc/init.d/ntp script so that it calls ntpdate before starting the daemon, so the clock's put right when the machine's switched on.

No its not.

Re: Printing woes...
Problem now solved, the device uri set up with cups was wrong. I compared printers.conf with the similar file from another distro, copied the appropriate line across and restarted cups = problem solved. Thanks for the replies, see you tonight. Are you joining us @ 6.00 pm Nick? Barry - Barry wrote: If I bring my box etc tonight would there be a guru who could sort out cups for me, I just about went around the bend with it last week.

It seems to get into this state when I unplug the printer: seems as if cups sees the printer is not there and disables it, but does not see that it comes back again so it stays disabled. In my case, I have to re-enable the printer: In System > Administration > Printing, choose the printer, then on the Policies tab, turn on the 'Enabled' flag.

Re: Printing woes...
lpstat -p will show any active printers on the system lpstat -a will show any active printer queues on the system Man lpstat for other usefull stuff. lpr -P file.ps is a usefull low level test.

In addition what does the cups web page tell you? its at http://localhost:631/ On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 11:35 AM, Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yes look in the cups logs and if that doesn't tell you up the logging > (its documented in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf I think is the file). > > linuxprinting.org database specifies it as working "mostly". > > http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-Color_LaserJet_1600 > > On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 3:32 AM, Barry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> If I bring my box etc tonight would there be a guru who could sort out cups >> for me, I just about went around the bend with it last week. >> >> The printer is a HP colour laserjet 1600, cups recognises it and it appears >> to be properly set up, jobs get passed to cups & queued and there they stay >> until cancelled. >> >> Any ideas anyone please? >> >> Barry >> >> >
Re: Printing woes...
yes look in the cups logs and if that doesn't tell you up the logging (its documented in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf I think is the file). linuxprinting.org database specifies it as working "mostly". http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-Color_LaserJet_1600 On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 3:32 AM, Barry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If I bring my box etc tonight would there be a guru who could sort out cups > for me, I just about went around the bend with it last week. > > The printer is a HP colour laserjet 1600, cups recognises it and it appears > to be properly set up, jobs get passed to cups & queued and there they stay > until cancelled. > > Any ideas anyone please? > > Barry > >
Printing woes...
If I bring my box etc tonight would there be a guru who could sort out cups for me, I just about went around the bend with it last week. The printer is a HP colour laserjet 1600, cups recognises it and it appears to be properly set up, jobs get passed to cups & queued and there they stay until cancelled. Any ideas anyone please? Barry
