[newbie] Printing problem, no header margin
I have mandrake installed, and print to an HP2100M. If I do a test page, this is centered correctly. If I print a postscript file written by dvips, this has no top border. I have similar problems with psnup, etc. Any suggestions as to how to center correctly ? The paper type is set up via printtool. Martin Bates Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] Printing problem
Do the following: Do not reinstall Linux Mandrake 7.2. Try to print directly to the laser printer by entering (you can use any short text file): cat ~/.bashrc /dev/lp0 If this works (at least some of the text visible), there is a problem with the printer spooler (CUPS or LPD), otherwise there is a problem with the kernel and its modules or with the hardware. To solve the printing spooler problem, try a clean reinstallation: clean up your system by entering urpme cups lpr saying yes to the deletion of all dependent packages and entering rpm -rf /etc/cups /var/log/cups /var/spool/cups /var/spool/lpd Download and install the updated CUPS packages from http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/ To download and install the packages simply copy and paste this into a terminal window: mkdir update cd update wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/cups-1.1.4-7mdk.i586.rpm wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/cups-drivers-0.3.6-39mdk.i586.rpm wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/ghostscript-5.50-44mdk.src.rpm wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/ghostscript-module-SVGALIB-5.50-44mdk.i586.rpm wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/ghostscript-module-X-5.50-44mdk.i586.rpm wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/ghostscript-utils-5.50-44mdk.i586.rpm wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/samba-2.0.7-19mdk.i586.rpm wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/samba-client-2.0.7-19mdk.i586.rpm wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/samba-common-2.0.7-19mdk.i586.rpm wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/drakgw wget http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~tkamppeter/packages/cups-print.txt rpm -Uvh *.rpm cp drakgw /usr/sbin chmod a+rx /usr/sbin/drakgw Reinstall the CUPS frontends: urpmi xpp qtcups kups Now install your laser printer as described in cups-print.txt or as in http://www.mandrakeuser.org/hardware/#4th Try the installation of the printers with "printerdrake" at first. Tell me exactly, step by step, what you have done, which program you have used, which driver you have chosen, and so on. Does "kups" show the printer ports? Do "printerdrake", "kups", and the web interface (http://localhost:631/) autodetect the printers? Do you get error messages? Can you print the test page, can you print from applications as described. If you still cannot print can you send me the files /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, /etc/cups/printers.conf, /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd, /var/log/cups/error_log, and the output of the "lsmod" command. Check also whether the CUPS daemon (the program which runs in the background waiting for printing jobs and processing them) is running? Do ps auxwww|grep cups If there is a line containing "cupsd" in the output, the daemon is running. If not, enter service cups start to start the CUPS daemon for the current session and chkconfig --add cups to make the CUPS daemon automatically being started at every boot. Now try the ink jet. Do the same as with the laser. If this printer is not autodetected, enter modprobe printer service cups restart and try again. Note that CUPS needs something like 30 seconds to come up. When you haveboth printers working, reboot and check whether they still work. If the USB printer does not work any more but the laser printer still works, edit the /etc/sysconfig/usb file adding the line PRINTER=yes and do service USB restart service CUPS restart and try to print on the USB printer again.

[newbie] printing problem after upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1
Hi all, I recently upgraded my machine from LM7.0 to LM7.1, and the printer stopped working. Would appreciate if anyone can help. The printer is a Epson Stylus 600. It is connected to a scanner, which in turn, is connected to the parallel port. It was working fine when I had LM7.0. It still works fine under Win98SE. When I try sending jobs with lpr, it just doesn't do anything. I tried PrinterDrake, and neither the ASCII nor PS test page will print. Oddly, if I cat an ASCII file to /dev/lp0, it does print. Can anyone provide some hints? Regards, Andy

In KDE, try playing with printtool.

[newbie] printing problem(s)
Have a minor g printing problem with 6.1, using my Panasonic KX-P2130
dot matrix printer ('cause my Lexmark 3200 is not supported). I have it
set up as an Epson 24-pin, and it works fine with all of the text
editors and Maxwell; using printtool, I generate both text and
postscript test pages without a problem. But when I try and print email
from Netscape, or anything from Corel WP8 or StarOffice 5.1, all Iget is
(are? whatever) reams of paper with what looks like a couple of
postscript symbols at the top of each page. Not exactly helpful, to say
the least -- I have set up the printers (I think) in each applicartion
in a number of permutations, with no success.
Netscape acknolwledges printing problems in Linux, but doesn;t say what
to do about 'em (guess that's one of the reasons AOL bought Netscape,
not vice versa... g). Corel and Sun offer generic information, and
after a week, haven't responded to emailed requests for help :( . I'd
be grateful if anyone could point me to a detailed HOWTO (I've checked
the ones with the distribution...nada), or better yet G, suggest
how to set up that printer in any one of those applications.
Thanks in advance -- got to say I have quickly bcome addicted to Linux.
I have kept a DOS 6.22 partition and a separate Win98 partition on my PC
for games only :) :) :), and everything else is now Linux. No more
"broken windoze" for this old puppy!

[newbie] Printing problem
I have an Epson Stylus color deskjet 660 and I'm using the regular Epson drivers in ghostscript (configured in printtool) and my /etc/printcap shows that it is set correctly with lp0 as my printer port. I *can* print whether or not I'm in root, in a console by sending a bash command to lp0 just fine (as in "ls /dev/lp0). I can't print in any Xwindows applications, though, and I can't use the lpr command. For ex. in Netscape, the command used is lpr -Plp0. 1.) When root, I get "lpr: connect: Connection refused jobs queued, but cannot star daemon" 2.) When non-root, I get "lpr: cannot create /var/spool/lpd/lp01/.seq" Can anyone help with this? I've read everything I can get my hands on in the books, docs, and newsgroups and can't find an answer. Thank you, Karen
[newbie] Printing problem - UPDATE
I restarted my computer and I can print now when I'm in *root*, in the console as well as in Xwindows applications such as Netscape. I still cannot, however, print from any other user. I am still getting this error: "lpr: cannot create /var/spool/lpd/lp01/.seq" Maybe I'm missing some permissions thingie, I don't know. I set everything in /var so that everyone could read, write and execute from it. Same thing goes for /dev/lp0 (yea maybe I didn't have to but I wasn't sure). Any help would be great. Thank you, Karen
