Hello,
I'm a bit embarrassed to ask for help on this issue 'cause it's
something I've already sorted out once, but can't remember anymore how I
did it.
When I try to print to my HP550, the printer begins its initialisation,
whirrs and groans 'til it arrives at the point of loading the paper,
then stops. The jobs stay stuck in the print queue and the printer
cycles into this initialisation routine once every 30s or so.
I had the same problem when I first installed SUSE 6.0 with kernel
2.0.36, but subsequently cured the problem somehow. I tweaked something
and voil�, bingo, it worked. Wish I could remember what...
Anyway, being at a bit of a loose end last weekend I downloaded and
installed the 2.2.5 kernel from the SUSE FTP server. Following which,
everything seemed to be OK until I wanted to print something this
evening, when the printer problem reappeared.
Some more pertinent info:
- the driver I am using is cdj550
- printer is on LPT1 in Windows so I am configuring it for /dev/lp1 in
YAST
- I can "cat" a file to the printer as /dev/lp1
- I've tried 300x300 and 360x360 resolutions so far without success
- "lpq" tells me "waiting for printer to become ready (offline?)"
- system is a Dell PII 350, 64MB RAM, all EIDE
- I don't seem to be able to correct the problem when I boot back into
2.0.36 either.
Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me, before I have to take
any more flak from the wife (unfortunately she's a die-hard Windows
fan).
Thanks.
