I noticed that I was unable to print PDF files (printer - HP DeskJet HP4583). I tested a doc file in Libre office and a webpage in Firefox and they printed. When I use Okular no error message is shown. Going into the cups web interface, there is no trace of the job at all. When I use Adobe, I get this error My installed cups packages are:
I have recently upgraded to Maverick, but I no more manage to print PDF files, neither with Okular nor with Adobe Reader for Linux. The only way I have is to directly use lpr, but it's long work. My printer is an hp deskjet 5150.
When printing web pages or PDF files in Ubuntu 10.04 to a network printer using CUPS, files are blown out to huge sizes - over 200Mb for a 30Mb PDF document and over 70Mb for a simple web page with 6 images and some text. Its holding up everyone else in our office who, through Windows XP are printing the same files in about a 20th of the time it takes Ubuntu+CUPS. I have tried printing directly to the printer, printing through the Win2003 PDC share, printing with LPR (which coincidentally generates a bit smaller ps file) and printing with Adobe Reader instead of evince
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. I just got a Brother hl-2140 printer installed the drivers via the brother site and I can't print pdf's. I can print gedit, openoffice, etc... but no PDF's. This is kind of a deal breaker.
I am having problems in printing 'complex' PDF files. Simple pages are no problem. Good examples is Royal Mail postage printing. Generated PDF displays correctly - and in Ubuntu 10.10 printed perfectly. Since I upgraded to 11.04 I get a blank page. No matter what I do. I have tried everything suggested when I googled the problem - but no solution works. I am printing across the network through my NAS box (no changes to that at all) to an HP Laserjet 1010. It all works correctly and as expected under Windows - so the setup is fine with printer and NAS. its a problem introduced by 11.04.
I use a Dual core desktop PC with Ubuntu 10.10. A hp-laser- jet 4250 printer is connected to it. I am getting able to print all files except .ps and .eps files. When I send a .ps or .eps file for printing, no job is actually reaching to printer.
I expected more from ubuntu 10.4 with regards to printing with exact size photos and with poor auto colour printing but the situation remains unchanged! for instance .. the photo size configurations for ubuntu/fspot/gimp and others are not compatible with my printers (HP and Brother) .. here in Europe a typical standard size photo (10x15inches or 150x100mm are not even on the Ubuntu listing? I have tried all listed possibilities including "custom" (which does not seem to ever work correctly?)and the result at best is photos with uneven boarders or at worse my printer goes a bit crazy with much wasted photo paper and expensive ink ...even photos selected for "no boarders" still produces photos with the self same uneven boarders.
I have tried pretty much everything over time following advice in this forum and including using HPlip and updating drivers required for my Brother printer but the root problem seemingly lies with the Ubunto photo size setup listing. Working with Ubuntu over the years I have found that it can do pretty much everything that Windows can do except for this dam ongoing photo quality and configuration problem.
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.
Is there a good photo printing tool available for Debian? I have a HP ePhotosmart B110a printer and want to print photo's on glossy photo paper (10x15 cm and 13x18 cm). Which program do you people advice and why? I've been trying a couple (digikam/F-spot/Photoprint) but they didn't satisfy me. It seems that these programs lack some handy options like the tools for Windows i've been working with in the past.

I have set-up a stand-alone CUPS server with the intention to configure printer drivers and queues at a central point. The idea was that all workstations simply get announced this server and use whatever it offers. But I cannot get it to work. I cannot find any way to use any external server other than configuring a local server, which may use the remote queues, but still requires all printer drivers locally. Furthermore, I have to set up each remote queue explicitly, i.e. to me having the remote server makes no sense.
I recentlty did a new install and the printer icon no longer shows up in the notification area when printing....I cannot figure out what is missing or did they omit this...
1. I am unsure if any system changes have occured. I am sure I must have changed something, but apparently did not document it. 2. Printer does work from other computers 3 Computer was originally wireless connected, but switched to USB. This had no affect. Well I can scan now so great. 4, Printer is HP 6500a. 5. Printer has worked from this computer before 6 This is from cups error log:

I am supposed to take some small files, and print them to a specific printer, such that the small files are concatenated into one file. The file name has to be included in the file that gets printed.
Should I be looking to concatenate the files into one file with the file names included, and then print them?
I have just upgraded to Jessie and everything seems to be OK apart from printing from a windows machine to my print share. This was working previously under wheezy. I can print a test page from Cups without any problems, but when I try and print from windows, Samba seems to crash completely and is constantly writing these messages to the logs. Then I lose access to the other shares, presumably while it repeatedly crashes.

I have a mfc-440cn installed and working in Debian wheezy 7.4 (the last one) but I cant fix to it for printing in grey, I was using the pdf default reader and send some pages to printing indicating not to print them in color just greys colors but doesn't respect that order, it prints full color. When I see the conf page for the printer it stills have the configuration I did indicating to print grey but it ignores it and print as it wants (full color). Note that I installed thr mfc according the instructions from the brother support page with no trouble but is just that it only wants to print full color.
I use of lenny beside Windows and have some ntfs partition and one fat32. I mounted them in start up but in my fat drive I cant clean any files or cut files to another place.
I have a RAID5 array created with mdadm from four 1.5 TB WD15EADS formatted XFS and shared with samba. I recently upgraded it (fresh install to a SSD) from an old -stable 2.6.18-6 to a fresh -lenny 2.6.26-2, and since the upgrade, I've noticed I can't stream high bandwidth video off of the array over samba anymore. The video stutters like it's out of bandwidthI've tried using mpc-hc64 in Windows 7 and my newly arrived Boxee Box.
Everything is wired gigabit ethernet (Boxee Box isn't, but the other two and the switch all three run through are), and I can copy the file at 30-35 MB/s to my desktop, which is significantly more bandwidth than streaming a video consumes. Looking at CPU usage on my desktop and the debian file server, there is plenty of headroom on both. Lower bandwidth files play perfectly fine, either SD or smaller HD.
Since I installed to a new boot drive, all the other hardware is the same, and the array of data is independent of the OS installation, I can boot off the old system, and I can verify that it indeed does not have the streaming problem. Everything plays perfectly smoothly like you'd expect. It even appears to copy slightly faster (35-40 MB/s versus 30-35 MB/s).Is there something in the configuration of the system or samba that I can change?
I have a label printer connected to a windows machine and its shared. And other windows machines can print to this label printer. But I need to be able to print to it from the linux box using lp or lpr. I have been following this article on how to get the labels printing, but I am unable to have any luck whatsoever.
Here is where I am at: bennett@ezyvet:~$ smbclient -L AECRECEPTION -U administrator Enter administrator's password: Domain=[VSG] OS=[Windows 7 Professional 7600] Server=[Windows 7 Professional 6.1] .....

The firewall on the windows machine has turned off. I can see 2 printers, cups cant find any more printers. It just says its searching for eternity. I believe the only reason why the 2 printers show up in cups is because they are network printers?
I have a headless server running Lucid (10.4.2) connected to that printer is an HP 930C. I have cups running and am able to initiate print jobs over the network from my desktop workstations.
Wat I haven't figured out is how to print a textfile directly from the CLI Console.
I have an entry /dev/lp0 My printers name is HP_DeskJet_930C
We have a networked Kyocera cs-3050 printer. When I print something to it, the Print window hangs for about a minute while the printer process queries the printer. This would be acceptable if it did happen EVERY TIME I printed a document.
Is there some way to have the printer driver cache the information instead of asking for it every time?
This question is about the usage of lpr and/or lp.
My printer has 3 trays: #1 is the manual feed, #2 contains paper for the first page of a letter and #3 contains blank paper for the rest of the document. Most letters should be printed using tray#2 for the first page and tray#3 for all subsequent pages of the same document.
It is easy to select a tray for the whole document. The command looks something like:
but for the desired effect I have to prepare the first page (normally with dvips), print that, then prepare the rest and print it separately. This is not very elegant, because the job of another user may be processed in between of the 2 steps. Is there a better way?
