Re: [newbie] Printing Problems HP 5L - Open Office Calc
Thanks: I Got it sorted out. I did not notice in the past that I actually had to click or double click on the HP 5L printer at the top in the printer manager window in order to access the jobs for that specific printer. I just took it for granted that since it is the only printer on my system, it would automatically show the jobs. My computer was set on the Generic Unix LPD Print System. I've now changed it to CUPS. Would it make a difference?

Re: [newbie] Printing Problems with KDE Programs
I'm using Mandrake 9.1 and had printer/Kghostview problems (mostly crashing when i tried to print) I tracked down some KDE bug reports on the subject, (i wish i wrote them down) and i traced my problem to a problem with using CUPS and kghostview while a kppp connection was established. weird huh? anyway i changed my print system to the generic unix LPD print system and haven't had a problem since then.

LPR is an ancient printing technology originally designed in the 1970s (IIRC) for line printers. Until only a few years ago, it was the the default printing system on most distributions. LPR has many shortcomings, and many would say that it lived far past its use-by date. CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) is an entirely new system that has replaced CUPS in most *NIX distributions. It is fully network and Internet aware, and is far more suitable for today's printers that LPR ever was. Mandrake offers both LPR and CUPS (and a few others, I think), but the default is CUPS. There is no need to use LPR, as everything can be done with CUPS. For best results, install the xpp package, and then instruct your applications to use 'xpp' as their printing command. XPP is a Mandrake package that allows extra control over your prinitng. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "The linux kernel has had an interesting release pattern: usually the .0 release was actually fairly good (there's almost always something stupid, but on the whole not really horrible).

Configuration: LM 7.2 GPL edition Mandrake Updates installed CUPS updates recommended on Mandrake Forum installed HP Laserjet 6L with foomatic + ljet4 driver HP Deskjet 812C with foomatic + stp-gimp-print driver When printing from Kmail and Konqueror, text at page bottom is cutoff and overlaps onto next page where the first line is also cutoff. Problem occurs with both printers although the Deskjet completely misses printing the last line on the page. Also, long lines are sometimes truncated on the right side of the page. Printing to a file and viewing the output with gv displays the problems exactly as it's printed. Printing text files using Enscript, XPP, and Qt-Cups all seem to print correctly. I read and configured everything I could find on mandrakeuser.org and linuxprinting.org. I've not been able to find any KDE configuration files that are applicable. Also, I've not ever been able to get KDE to remember paper size defaults and don't know if this is related to the printing problem. I'm printing on letter size paper which I have to select every time I print because the KDE dialog defaults back to A4. I'm out of ideas on what to try next. Can anyone help?

Sorry about the html. I just started using Outlook a couple of weeks ago and had not even checked that! Anyway, I decided to take the BJC6000 back and will probably get an HPDJ 895cxi, unless someone has had serious problems with it. According to gtaylor's page, it is supposed to work (mostly).

Re: [newbie] Printing Problems in 6.5
According to http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/pht/printer_list.cgi?make=Canon&format=full The Cannon BJC-6000 is a "papaerweight" Reported to work on Usenet by Jan Harmsen; may well be "perfect" - if so please fix! May only run at 720x720? Try the 610 Uniprint drivers, too. I ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) changed the functionality to paperweight after finding no success on Linux 2.3.39 with a known good parport setup (BJ-210SP works). With gs I tried the bjc600 driver with no joy. echo yes >/dev/lp0 failed to respond and needed a break to get the prompt back. lpr of ascii caused no action from printer, and the job stayed in the queue indefinitely, with lpq claiming that the printer was printing. When I put the 210SP back everything worked. During the tests I compiled a kernel with plug+play turned on but no plug+play device was detected at boot. I think she's a dud.Note: printer doesn't print plain text.Refill: cartridge And the HP 722C only worls partially... works in bw only.Refill: cartridge 51645A (Black); C1823A (Color)This entry has not yet been proofread.Driver: Ghostscript: -sDEVICE=pbm2ppa # (600x300 BW)No autoprobe info - Please add using Ed Printer link!

After installation, I went to Printtool and defined a printer (HP Deskjet 722C before I found out it was was Win printer). I told the program to send out a test page both to the spooler and to the port. I received a message stating that the test page printed. Printer response, nothing. I tried it with a Canon BJC6000 which I found from the printing Howto site is supposed to work. Same response. I don't get any kind of activity from the printer at all. I checked out some books and followed the advice there. I did a dmesg from a console window and found that parport recognized both of my printer ports and even recognized the proper printer attached to LPT1 (P0).

[newbie] Printing Problems in 6.5
Ok. As I mentioned in my rant yesterday, I have a printing problem. I run on a Compaq Presario 4862. I installed Mandrake 6.5 in a dual boot setup with Win98se. Everything I have tested seems to work with the exception of printing. After installation, I went to Printtool and defined a printer (HP Deskjet 722C before I found out it was was Win printer). I told the program to send out a test page both to the spooler and to the port. I received a message stating that the test page printed. Printer response, nothing. I tried it with a Canon BJC6000 which I found from the printing Howto site is supposed to work. Same response. I don't get any kind of activity from the printer at all. I checked out some books and followed the advice there. I did a dmesg from a console window and found that parport recognized both of my printer ports and even recognized the proper printer attached to LPT1 (P0). I checked the config files that I could find and the proper entries for parport seem to be there. I installed tunelp and tried to assign irq7 to the parallel port. Still nothing happens when I print, not even a blinking printer light. I removed my second port on the off chance that maybe it was causing a conflict. Same result. I completely reinstalled from scratch, thinking that maybe I had screwed up in the install. Same result. Do any of you have any ideas? I am about at my wits end here. If I was at least getting an error message, I might know where to turn, but I am not even getting that! Thanks in advance! Wendell Gragg [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[newbie] Printing problems
I'm using linux Mandrake 6.0 with KDE. I have a remote printer - HP LaserJet 5 - part of the LAN. Lpd works when I try printing with lpr but there are problems when I try to print from Maxwell for example. I think that there is some problem with filters but I don't know how to configure the printer. = __ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
[newbie] Printing Problems, Please help!
Please help me print In printtools I set my printer type as BJ-240 (I have BJC-240). This should work..but it doesn't. When I try printing a test page, all I get is garbage...about 10 pages of it. The parr. port is set to bi-directional, ghostscript is installed..I've read everything I can find, and can't seem to find a solution. What's the one thing I need to do? Thanks..
