CentOS 5 :: Network Printer Not Printing In Gnome / 5.2
Mar 28, 2009
I have a recently installed dual boot system with Centos 5.2 and Fedora 10. I connect across a LAN to a network printer HP Laserjet 1320n I have been through the printer installation / setup on both systems Fedora works fine, Centos doesn't want to know. Sending anything to print just adds it to a queue that is never printed.
I have looked at the printer management through Firefox browser localhost.localdomain:631 If I send a test page from here (CUPS) it reports the document as printed, but the printer just sits there blinking an orange light indicating an error.

I have a virtual Linux box with a static IP in the cloud.
I have remote sites that have networked PCs that normally act as terminals but also have more than one printer on the Windows Network.
I would like software on the Window's machine to access the known IP address of the server and advertise the printers on the network so they can be printed to with lpr or cups. I don't have a problem manually setting up the printers on Centos if that is necessary. (But I need to know how to do that as well).
I need to know if I can setup a VPN on Windows without it stopping regular internet traffic and how to do it.
I need to know all the steps (what to install, what to issue commands for) to make this happen without using a GUI if possible and if the GUI is easier I need to know which GUI to install.
I also do not have a problem with using a VPN router at the client side if that makes it any easier. Like a Cisco RV120W.

From my Ubuntu Server 8.10, when i attempt to print to my network printer(Brother HL2700cn) it prints garbage and multiple blank pages. I also tried installing the Brother print driver (BR2700_2_GPL.ppd) as instructed, placing the file in directories: /usr/share/cups/model and directory /var/spool/lpd and restarted cups: /etc/init.d/cups restart. after all that, i get the same results, garbage and multiple blank pages. the printer has a static ip address

I want to print from my linux box to my win7 pc that has a shared printer. I have cups installed and tried to add pritner using samba, but was unsuccesful, gave me an error when trying to add. The guide i followed is: Yet another Linux to Windows printing tip -- Debian Admin The printer model is a dell 2330d laser printer, it is not in cups, so i added the ppd file i got off the dell support site. I am aware that there is a native suse driver, but i want to print to the windows printer.If possible I would like to know how to do this via command line instead of the GUI.

I have a HP c4100 series printer connected to my Ubuntu computer. This computer prints just fine. I also have a Windows Vista computer that's connected to the Ubuntu HP via CUPS (by installing network printer with path of http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:631/printers/printername). This computer also prints just fine. My problem is I just got a new Windows 7 laptop, and connected it to the HP via CUPS the same way as the Vista machine. It installed fine. However the Win7 Laptop will not print. When I try to print, it acts like it is going to print, but never gives an error and the file never makes it into the printer queue (on either the win7 or ubuntu machines, i have tried printing with both queues open to see what happens).
Things I have already changed:
On the Ubuntu machine:Changed all the printer settings on printer to allow any and all connections including printing from the internet.
Edited the /etc/samba/smb.conf to allow CUPS printing and allow guest access
On the Win7 machine:Fixed my LAN security settings (disabled require 128bit encryption, send LM and NTLM responses)
Reinstalled printer several times. I have googled this issue almost every day for a month and tried every setting that I have came across (changed them back if it didn't help). So far nothing has worked for me, and this is my last ditch effort to get this printer working. Does anyone know why I can not print from my Windows 7 machine to a printer connected to my Ubuntu machine? Especially when I CAN print from the UBUNTU and Vista machines.

I've run into issue on my Linux machine (running 10.04) when I want to print. When I go to System>Administration> Printing, I cannot find the printer connected to the network through my dad's computer, running OS X 10.7.

Printer is connected via USB to server PC running OpenSUSE 11.1 Client PCs are running 11.1, XP, Vista No problem printing from the Windoze machines
Printing is trouble free with the 11.1 client's firewall disabled, but no printer is available with firewall running.
In hopes of diagnosing the problem I figured I'd open everything I could think of until the printer remained available with the firewall running. Then I planned to start removing exceptions one at a time 'til removing one caused the printer to disappear.
I've gone to Yast>Security and Users>Firewall>Allowed Services>External Zone and tried addingSamba Server
NetBIOS server
Samba Client
Samba Server
VNC
[Code]....

Centos 5 was set up for me on my server with VMware and XP SP3 as a guest. I have little to no knowledge of centos (or anything Linux) so i tend to leave well alone but i am trying to get a USB printer to work from my networked pcs through XP - Through VMware - Through Centos5 to the USB port on the back of my server. I am reasonably OK with XP but am not a techie so will probably need to be walked through this.
I can see the printer appearing on Centos' equivalent to device manager and when i print everything seems ok with the XP print queue clearing after a few seconds but nothing prints. At a guess i need some sort of software bridge- (is this SAMBA?).

I am attempting to connect a CentOS VMWare VM to a networked Brother HL5170DN printer. The printer is located at 192.168.0.101. It is available and I can connect to it with various Ubuntu and Windoze VMs.
I have searched for instructions on how to do this and it SEEMS rather simple. However, it does not work. Here is what I have done:
System; Administration; Printing to launch the printer configuration wizard
supply root password New Printer Provide printer name, description etc. Select Connection - LPD/LPR Host or Printer Hostname - 192.168.0.101 supply a printer name again select Brother HL5170DN BR-Scripts3 from the footmatic database complete creating the printer
The printer appears as a local printer, however, I cannot print a test page. Nothing happens when I click the button to print a test page. I can ping the printer by IP address. So I deleted the printer and tried again.
At the screen which asks for Hostname and Printername I entered the printer's IP address in Hostname as I had done before. I then clicked the Probe button. At this point Printer configuration freezes and I have to do a force quit.
I just tried the same thing on a physical CentOS 5.6 box - just in case the problem was a VMWare thing. Same symptoms. Probe freezes the Printer configuration program. I then recalled that the printer uses port 9100. I opened 9100 on the firewall (I think) but no improvement. I temporarily disabled the firewall and went throug the proces. I now have the printer defined at "socket://192.168.0.101:9100" and recognized as "Brother HL-5170DN BR-Script3"
I still cannot print a test page. I tried to print from gedit and it shows the printer with 1 job in the queue. The gedit print bumped that to 2 jobs in the "printing" state. Looks like I am communicating with the printer. Just not printing.

I'm trying to install Brother DL-5250DN laser network printer. I have read the manual at [URL] and also I have searched the forum but I didn't find a solution yet. The problem is that I don't know what is the printer type that I have to select. None of the description really match for this printer. It is a printer which is directly connected to the network and *not* to a Linux or Windows machine. The only type that matches is AppSocket/HP JetDirect. I tried to cinfigure it with CUPS but it doesn't work. After I type the password nothing happens.

I installed CentOS 5.5 on my Compaq desktop PC connected to a LAN/Router, at the installation somehow the LAN connection was automatically determined and I was able to use the browser without doing anything.However when I added a print server to the LAN/Router I lost network connection from my Compaq PC running CentOS 5.5. Is there a way to rerun network manager installation to determine the new LAN settings (with a print server attached)

I'm trying to install hp DeskJet 6500 printer on a network.
My Centos version is
Linux xxxxx 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Nov 9 13:35:30 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ofcourse My printer model is not showing up on the list of printer list when using ipp based configuration.
so while searching around, I came across article to install hplip at
[URL]
and I tried to install the following hplip version with centos.
[URL]
Running the configure with following arguments
./configure --with-hpppddir=/usr/share/ppd/HP --libdir=/usr/lib64 --prefix=/usr --enable-qt4 --enable-doc-build --enable-cups-ppd-install --disable-foomatic-drv-install --disable-foomatic-ppd-install --disable-hpijs-install --disable-policykit --disable-cups-drv-install --enable-hpcups-install --enable-network-build --enable-dbus-build --enable-scan-build --enable-fax-build
I get following error
configure: error: cannot find net-snmp support (or --disable-network-build)
But net-snmp is installed on my system, so, I tried with disable-network-build and tried to get around the problem, the next error I get is
checking for usb_init in -lusb... no
configure: error: cannot find libusb support

I'm running Fedora 11 and printing to both an HP Laser Jet 4Plus and HP Office Jet 7130 via a Windows 7 PC. I have a UID/PWD account on the PC that differs from that on the Fedora, also one that is identical UID/PWD to that used in Fedora. This has worked fine until "recently" (noticed it in ~last week or 2). Suddenly I'm being asked repeatedly to authenticate to print, neither account credentials are working. I get the message "Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)" and I get nowhere. I tried delete and reinstall the printers in Fedora, that works OK, can "see" them in setup on the Windows 7 host just fine. But can't get past the repeated authentications ...? I'm guessing something has changed in Fedora updates because this used to work with same Windows 7 PC in prior weeks.

I'm having trouble with printing a PDF that is in landscape mode. When I tell Okular or Adoble Reader to print a document in landscape mode, the text is Illegible. If I tell it to print as portrait mode, then I can read the text but the end is cut off and there is no way for me to tell Okular or Adobe Reader what the margins are. That option was grayed out.
I'm having another problem: When I cancel the job from the CUPS interface, it says it canceled the job but the printer keeps going and finishes whether I want it to or not. With 11.2, I was able to have it set up so that when I told it to stop the printer, it did so right away. Why can't I get the printer to stop in the middle of a job if I see something wrong with it so that I don't have to waste ink?

How do I stop a printer from printing? Here's what happened- I started to print some PDF stuff and then changed my mind. The printing job hadn't finished so I just clicked on the printer icon and selected QUIT. Well, of course that didn't work so I just turned the printer off......same result- when I turn the printer back on it keeps on printing the same stuff. How do I stop the printer from continuing and delete all print jobs?

Having made the transition from a certain widely used operating system to linux, suse 11.2, x64, successfully and pleasantly we are still left with a few problems.One of these is a few applications i have to use which run only in that old OS. ?To that end I have installed VirtualBox and got them to run with one glitch. I cannot print from VBox to my HP LaserJet 4000, lpt1 printer, which works fine in suse. Searching and posting on the Vbox forums turned up that lpt1 is not supported in the current vbox and that I need to set up a virtual network, set up the printer as a network printer and set it up as an lpd/lpr printer in Vbox WinXP. Have tried many different ways to do this without success, I think the problem is I do not know how to set up a network printer in Linux.
The virtual network is vboxnet0, which does show up in ifconfig, along with my eth0 net, and I can ping the windows guest, gateway and the host from either side host:suse/guest:winXP) respectively. Have tried numerous ways of setting up printer in YaST which works in suse but still does not work from WinXP guest. Have read the suse manual and several sources and searched forums with no results.Finally I am thinking I just don't know how to set up a network printer in linux. Using cups, kde, suse 11.2, don't know what else to tell. Samba is installed, although I am not using it to the best of my knowledge.

I have installed an HP LaserJet 2200 network printer using CUPS successfully and can print test pages and stuff from OpenOffice, Evince etc. But no luck printing from lpr. Using lpstat seems to suggest all is well:
$ lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: HP-LaserJet-2200
device for HP-LaserJet-2200: socket://192.168.10.42:9100
HP-LaserJet-2200 accepting requests since Tue 19 Oct 2010 14:01:50 NZDT
printer HP-LaserJet-2200 is idle. Enabled since Tue 19 Oct 2010 14:01:50 NZDT
Ready to print.
If I now try to print 'test.txt' using:
$ lpr test.txt
nothing happens. Try calling the printer by name:
$ lpr -P HP-LaserJet-2200 test.txt
lpr: HP-LaserJet-2200: unknown printer
I have added my user name to the lp and lpadmin groups. Trying the above as 'sudo' results in the same result. The only thing I've noticed is that when printing something from OpenOffice, in the document print status I get the message 'Processing - not connected?', although printing still works.

I have a windows machine on my lan with a printer attached. I have samba running on my F11 laptop and I can use it to access shared files on the windows machine. But how can I use the printer from fedora? When I go to Administor>Printers then I just get an empty list, even after pressing 'rescan'. Do I have to change some firewall/samba configuration? If not then where else would I see the printer?

In December I finally filled up my root partition and broke Suse 11.1. I therefore resized my partitions and installed Suse 11.3 on /root. I didn't not touch my /home partition.
Last week I had a paper jam in the printer. This has been cleared and as far as I know the printer is now fine. However the printer will not print. In url, it says printing has been paused, but I cannot find resume printer/printing anywhere.
I have tried Google, but the instructions do not appear to match where I would find 'resume printer'.I am able to provide further information.

I have a brand new Canon MF4350d printer/copier/fax/scanner installed and shared on XP that I can't get working on Ubuntu!
XP prints test pages fine. Ubuntu sees the XP shared printer, it sends print jobs, and the XP machine even receives the print jobs (I can see them "spooling" in the XP print manager) but then nothing happens. The job leaves Ubuntu showing 150k but then shows 50 bytes when received in XP before disappearing from the queue.
How I got to where I am...
There was no native driver in Ubuntu for the printer, so I downloaded Canon linux drivers source and compiled (including make install) based on some other threads I've found such as this one.
Compiling left me with PPD files that seem to be specific to the MF4350, although their names show MF4350z not MF4350d. I'm not sure why there were three different files with slightly different names (CNCUPSMF4350ZJ.ppd, CNCUPSMF4350ZK.ppd, and CNCUPSMF4350ZS.ppd).
I added the printer manually using the Ubuntu printer browser setup (Samba) and selected the .PPD files manually. I've tried all three different .PPD files to no avail.
I've toggled bi-directional comm. and tried different print drivers on XP. Nothing's worked yet.

Been using ubnutu gnome for a loooong time and my printer (Canon MX340) has been running just fine, configuration and usage.
I now switch to kde. configure my printer the same way i would under gnome and as soon as i send a job, it processes for about 3 seconds and just marks "stopped" under status. nothing goes through anymore!!
i've updated from 4.5 to 4.6 with backports and nothing is happening on there either.
im running maverick amd64 and using the i386 drivers (with dpkg -i --force-all) which are still recognized even under kde.
p.s.: the printer normally runs as wireless standalone (no samba/cups involvment whatsoever)

Thought I'd post this as I couldn't find much about it online. I have an HP3745 and am running Ubuntu 10.04. For some reason I couldn't get anything from the black ink cartridge in test mode or for real. The printer would go through the motions but would return a blank page. Turns out it was because my COLOUR ink cartridge was empty!! Solution was simply to select print in grayscale. Also I find with this particular printer HPCUPS works better than HPLIP.

Is there a way to print from a Canon MX 330 All-in-One printer in Ubuntu 9.04? I'm trying to print through a Linksys WRT54G router. The printer is physically connected to a Desktop PC running Windows Vista (64-bit).I've tried installing the printer though CUPS to no avail. I tried the iP4600, iP3600 and iP2600 drivers and none of them have worked for me. I've even tried the Gutenprint PIXMA IP4600 drivers.

I'm running Red Hat Linux and CUPS 1.2.4. I can print a test page to a Win 7 shared printer ok. However, when I issue the lpr command from a user or root, it won't print. The CUPS message is "Remote host did not accept data file (1)" and the job just hangs till I cancel it. The only thing I can tell that is different is that when the test page from CUPS is generated, it uses user "guest". When I try to print it using the lpr command, the user is "eddie" or "root". I tried adding a user account named "eddie" to the Win 7 box, I can print successfully from both CUPS and users on several other Win XP boxes.

I've recently decided to migrate the infrastructure in my workplace from ubuntu to fedora, every thing except the printers went perfectly. When I try to print as an user It just throws an generic error and stops, as a root it doesn't even show the error.
This is the debug log:
Code:
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] cupsdSetBusyState: Dirty files
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] cupsdReadClient: 12 POST / HTTP/1.1
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] cupsdSetBusyState: Active clients and dirty files
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] cupsdReadClient: 12 1.1 Get-Jobs 1
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] Get-Jobs ipp://localhost/printers/ .....
It worked fine in debian and ubuntu, so we can assume that the drivers are ok, any ideas?
