Debian Configuration :: CUPS Raw Print Queues Not Working?

Apr 16, 2011

I am trying to set up a print server here on a Squeeze system using the stock debian CUPS package. It seems that since Apple has bought this package, it has caused me nothing but grief. I have set up two different USB printers with raw print queues, and every time I send a print job to either of them, the job disappears into thin air, with no error output. In fact, when I look at the queue, it says the job was completed successfully. I look at the logs, and there is no output indicating any issues. Just for kicks, I reconfigured one of the printers to use a linux driver, and it printed just fine (a little slow, but fine). I set it back to raw, and the jobs disappear again into oblivion.

I have done this many times in the past, and never had any issues -- I even had this very same printer set up that way about a year ago, and it worked great. The only noteworthy thing that seems to have changed is that there are no longer any files called "mime.types" and "mime.convs". It seems they have been replaced by "raw.types" and "raw.convs". The contents of these two files are as follows:

raw.types: application/octet-stream

Ubuntu :: Setting Up Multiple Cups-pdf Queues

Oct 21, 2010

I have an Ubuntu Server running CUPS-PDF successfully. The problem that I am running into now is that we want to have different CUPS-PDF queues.Example:Joe from Finance wants his PDF prints to go to /home/finance which is samba shared out to all users in Finance. Mark from Operations needs logs printed out to /home/ops which is samba shared to all users in Operations and must be landscape.Finance and Operations print from the command line (lp -d print-queue filename) on the server via ssh since their app runs from a terminal.

I have looked and looked all over the net and through the cups-pdf documentation to see if there is a way to force the URI for the cups-pdf print queue instead of it going to the default of $HOME/Desktop as stated in my /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf file. Basically, I want to set up a cups pdf printer called Finance, Advert and Ops that has all the options they need so when they print something from the linux applications, and they tell it to print to the virtual printer that they have permission to use and it go to the respective directory that they have access too.

General :: CUPS Client Configuration For Printing To Windows Print Server

May 24, 2011

Since last few weeks i am struggling to setup printer connected to print server.

Here is the setup that i have:

I have Red Hat Linux machine from which i want to issue print jobs.

I have Windows Print Server having multiple printers connected to it.

I am able to print jobs from Windows client to any of these printers. But i am not able to print from Red Hat Linux. (i have verified that i can print using smbclient utility, but based on my reading, CUPS API could be used from application to discover, print and issue print jobs.)

I am not able to get the correct configuration for setting up CUPS client.

CentOS 5 :: Get Kubuntu's Print Configuration Tool To See My Network CUPS Server?

Sep 27, 2009

I am demo'ing Kubuntu 9.04 workstation to a customer. He has a CentOS 5.3 server (my doing). On it is our CUPS Network file server. Everyone (65 of them) print to our network printer through it using LPR/LPD (and sometimes Samba).

Problem: when Kubuntu's Print Configuration Tool went looking for printers, it found every network printer's IP address, but missed my CUPS printer server. What did I do wrong on one or both ends (I have control over both).

CentOS 5 :: CUPS Print Server Not Working?

Aug 27, 2010

I just installed CentOS 5.3 on Compaq desktop PC with HP laser jet 2100 attached to parallel port. The PC is connected to LAN with 2 other PCs running Fedora. I configured the HP printer as a shared CUPS printer and I was able to detect the printer from the other PCs running Fedora but I can't print test page from the other PCs.

P.S. I opened up port 513 and 631 for both UDP and TCP on print server PC and cups-lpd service is running on it.

Debian :: Cups Not Starting With The Server / Getting Error Unable To Read Configuration File '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - Exiting?

Feb 24, 2011

cups does not start with the server. When I try to start from the terminal I get the error message

cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting!
cupsd: Child exited with status 1!

The log files show nothing. cupsd.conf exists. It is user - root and group - root with permissions set at 0644.

My interpretation of this is that the program is not launching from either boot or terminal for a fundamental reason. I do not quite see what that reason is .

Debian :: CUPS Failed To Print File In 7.8

Nov 10, 2015

I have installed cups(1.5.3) in my Beagleboard black based custom hardware running on Debian 7.8 using 'apt-get install' command. I am trying to print to HP deskjet 1112 usb printer from system line but nothing is getting printed and the output of 'lpstat -t' shows the error : "/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpcups failed "

The error_log output is :

I [10/Nov/2015:09:44:51 +0000] Saving job.cache...
I [10/Nov/2015:09:44:52 +0000] Listening to [v1.::1]:631 (IPv6)

I [10/Nov/2015:09:44:52 +0000] Listening to /var/run/cups/cups.sock (Domain)

[code]....

Please find the response from CUPS administrators below:

As far as I see this has nothing to do with CUPS.As far as I see the first error message comes from Ghostscript: "Unable to open the initial device, quitting" (this is in Ghostscript's gs_init.ps file).Therefore Ghostscript does not produce any output which lets then the filter from HP's HPLIP driver software error out with "cupsRasterOpen failed" and finally the HP backend errors out with "ERROR: null print job".Neither Ghostscript nor HP's HPLIP driver software belong to CUPS so that the issue does not belong to CUPS (according to my analysis).

I guess that somehow the "Ghostscript command line" is not correct or does not work as it should.Usually this is alos no bug in Ghostscript but "some where else" where the Ghostscript command line with all its parameters is created.

Debian Hardware :: CUPS Says Print Job Complete But Never Prints

Jan 29, 2016

Canon PIXMA MX492, installed drivers from Canon page a few weeks ago, printed test page just fine, printed a few pages after that.

This week I reinstalled Jessie, but with net install instead of live USB. Installed drivers from Canon, it all looks the same.

Localhost: 631 says print job complete, but nothing ever prints. Printer doesn't respond at all. Where print spool is going. I can't figure out what I missed. The install was so simple last time and it should have been the same.

The net install seemed to fix drawing tablet drivers, maybe broke printing somehow? Updated kernel for graphics firmware, but same version as a few days ago.

Software :: CUPS - Print Jobs Shows Completed, But Page Doesn't Print?

Dec 6, 2008

I initially had a problem accessing the CUPS interface (see my other post) and got that resolved by adding the user "cupsys". Now, everything "looks" ok, and when I print a test page, it shows it as completed (in CUPS). However, the page never prints.
The printer is a Canon MP600 (using the canonmp600en.ppd file to configure it). Here's the output of my conf file.

Slackware :: CUPS Print Jobs Print 1st Page OK, But All Others Are Overwritten?

Feb 26, 2011

Not sure when CUPS started acting up. I have the latest 13.1 current software installed.The first page to print is always OK, but all succeeding pages are overwritten. The second page shows the first page on top of it, and the third shows the preceding pages on top of it - and so on. Has anyone else seen this problem?I guess the printer buffer is not getting flushed correctly. If my configurations were trashed in some way, I don't know where to look for a fix.

Debian Configuration :: CUPS Configuration In Mac

Nov 3, 2010

I repair and network Canon copiers, and we have a couple of schools here in the US that have added some Mac computers (OS 10.6). The copiers they're running (Canon ImageRunner 5000) have stopped print driver support as of Mac OS 10.5, so I'm attempting to use CUPS as a workaround. Printing isn't an issue normally, but they're using the Canon "Job Accounting" feature to track usage, and that's where my problem lies. This is not a problem for any Windows OS machines, as drivers are available all the way through Windows 7.I have Linux Mint installed on my laptop, and am trying to configure one of the copiers here in the office with CUPS before I hit the field and do it for real, and had no problem installing the copier on my computer. Printing works great, however when I attempt to query printer for default options I get this error.

"Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-command'!" Does anyone have an idea of how to get past this point so I can save my company a lot of money by not having to replace machines? Please be aware I'm just a novice using Linux, so any steps to take will have to be spelled out. I can follow directions well, so feel free to post a walkthrough and I'll make the changes right away.

Debian Configuration :: Can't Shutdown Cups And Avahi-daemon

Nov 15, 2015

I've been using linux for a few months. Recently I have installed debian jessie and I'm learning how to secure my laptop. I have installed

Code: Select allapt-get install sysv-rc-conf

to shutdown few services that I believe I don't need at boot which I found very useful. Among others I have deselected avahi-daemon, cups, cups-browsed, etc. The problem is that, after rebooting, when running:

Code: Select allnetstat -lntup

I still find 'avahi-daemon: r' and 'cupsd' running. I have tried

Code: Select allsystemctl stop cups
systemctl disable cups
systemctl stop avahi-daemon
systemctl disable avahi-daemon

But after rebooting these services are aklways running. I do not know whta to do.

Output of netstat -lntup

Code: Select all[*]Active Internet connections (only servers)

I'm aware that cups seems to work just for my printer but I do not understand why I can't just disable it.

Debian Configuration :: Cups Not Starting In Squeeze For Some Reason?

Debian Configuration :: CUPS And Multiple Printer IP Numbers?

May 29, 2011

Our Canon MX340 printer is WiFi connected using an IP address. This works well except that whenever the printer is turned off (for any reason) it chooses another IP next time it is turned on. As near as I can tell, it has two IP numbers: 192.168.1.64 and 192.168.1.65 Is it possible to enter both in the CUPS configuration so that CUPS will find the printer whichever number it is using?

Debian Configuration :: Sending Commands To The Printer Besides The CUPS System?

Nov 30, 2010

reason my Debian 5 system will not stop printing blank pages. I've got the CUPS system installed, and I've gone to the control page and canceled everything. I've also turned the printer off and restarted it several times. Every time it comes back online it starts printing blank pages again. My paper does not need to be heat treated. It's fine as it is. So, how to I stop this waste of electricity and printer MTBF? What else might be sending commands to the printer besides the CUPS system?

Debian Configuration :: Setting Up A CUPS/Samba Shared Network Printer?

Aug 19, 2010

how to get clients connecting to an office printer. during a migration from windows server to debian/samba.

We have:

5 windows XP machines one Windows Server 2003 machine, PDC of the old domain One debian Samba PDC (of TEST domain)/print server (with CUPS installeD) running in a virtual machine hosted by the windows server One Toshiba eStudio 3511 printer

Using the CUPS control panel, I've been able to autodetect and add the printer, and it appears as an available share in SWAT for samba. However, the driver isn't perfect. CUPS could only supply drivers for the 3510c, not the 3511.

However, clients on the TEST domain are unable to access it. Doing so gives an error about a local policy preventing a connection to the print queue. I've tried googling this error and the fix that comes up in every result about changing a point and print policy setting, does not work.

however, I've been able to work around the issue. by first logging in as local administrator, navigating to the domain server, then inputting the domain root account credentials at the prompt. That allows me to attempt to connect to printers, but with a different error

"The server for the printer does not have the correct driver installed...."

I very strongly suspect that the 3510 driver actually will work, but it's just not being shared properly. The printer driver share folder is /var/lib/samba/printers, and that directory contains only a few empty subfolders. CUPS did not place the driver there as I would expect, and that is where clients are looking for it.

The thing is, I have no idea where CUPS DID put the driver.

On the old domain, the printer uses drivers for es4511, and looking on the toshiba site, this seems to be what they provide. The Toshiba Site provides a huge variety of drivers, including several windows ones, a universal driver, and a CUPS PPD. Cups asks for an optional PPD during install and I tried supplying that. It said installed successfully, but didn't change anything.

I've tried pasting the windows drivers into /var/lib/samba/printers/W32X86 too, and likewise with other drivers from toshiba's site. but this doesn't change anything either, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

how to install/setup drivers on a samba PDC, for windows machines?

Also relevant, my smb.conf:
anyone see any possible causes of problems?
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN ()
# Date: 2010/08/19 13:03:07

Debian :: CUPS Stopped Working With HP LaserJet 4 Plus

Jun 22, 2010

My printer is a HP laserjet 4 Plus. It used to work with the gutenprint drivers pretty much since always.I don't know when it broke, because I don't use it that often. I have tried with the generic postscript driver, with the gutenprint driver, with the j4dith driver and with the hplib driver. Basically, what happens is that all jobs never finish processing in the queue. On the other hand cups-pdf still works.

Debian Configuration :: Finger Print Reader?

debian unstable system i have a problem with thinkfinger. By default i should only swipe my finger and i don`t have to press enter after that. The problem is that now i have to press enter. For example in GDM if i enter my username i should swipe my finger and it should let me log in. Now after i swipe my finger nothing happenes unless i press enter.The problem may be related to the update of xorg. The same problem has been reported here: Is there anyone here who uses thinkfinger who could possibly have an idea why is this happening?I am using thinkfinger 3.0 on debian unstable with kernel 2.6.32-amd64, xorg 1.7.4, SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader and GNOME. Other than the having to press enter i have no problems with thinkfinger. I am have patched thnikfinger with two patches:This patch solves the problem with thinkfinger taking too long to intialize:
