[newbie] Printing Woes
I have a Xerox DocuPrint C11, and a shared OfficeJet d155xi on another computer. Here's the deal. If I print in grayscale, everything comes out beautifully, on both printers, however, if I print in color, it's all wavey and stuff.. like the printer heads arent seeking properly, or something. They both print fine under windows. Both printers have tri-color cartridges AND black cartridges, loaded at the same time. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on here? -- Chuck Burns - Grand Bay, AL Man = Mars = 4th planet from Sun = 4 Woman = Venus = 2nd planet from Sun = 2 Man - Woman = -2 = Man divorce wife = less than he started with Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Check in MCC printer setup, under advanced tag, to see if there are different versions of the driver for each of them. If so, change it and try again.

In some instances it's better to set up two pseudo printers for each printer - one optimised for b/w, the other for color. I have to do that with my HP 656c - but it works great if in the end...and I don't mind switching when I have to... -- Mon Jan 20 17:50:00 EST 2003 5:50pm up 4 days, 3:33, 6 users, load average: 0.20, 0.36, 0.21 -- |____ | kuhn media australia| | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | | ;/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389| | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | -- linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting -- It's from Casablanca.

[newbie] printing woes w/mdk8.0 and canon bjc-2000
CUPS isn't quite working with my Canon BJC-2000 printer on mandrake 8.0. Specifically, there are two problems: 1) I'm unable to make it print more than one page of a document from netscape or opera -- it hangs up right at the end of the first page, and then delays about 2 minutes before printing the very end, but never prints further than that. In StarOffice, it prints multiple pages, but with too-large top margins after the first page. These may be unrelated items, but they arise in the process of trying to solve the former issue of netscape/opera not printing more than one page. Oddly, when I specify either application to print *only* one page, it works fine -- ejects the page and everything. 2) I can't get true-black output from my black ink cartridge (I don't have a color cartridge installed). I have tested it with different color settings in the kups configuration, but nothing quite does it. I get grey text when it should be black. Anyone have an idea what's happening? I have heard that cups works well with the BJC-2000, but that's not really my experience so far. Can I elect to drop cups and go back to lpr? That was more of a hassle, but it worked for me on mdk7.1 for over a year! I sure would appreciate some suggestions. -- -Alan
