General :: All Printers Disabled In Debian 5
Jul 28, 2010
I am running VirtualBox on a Windows XP host. I have two containers, one running Fedora 13 and the other running Debian 5. I set up the three printers I have at home on each system. The printers in Fedora work great. The same printers in Debian are disabled and will not print. I've also installed cups-pdf on each system. Works on Fedora, disabled on Debian. I don't know what is different. I set them up the same way with the same drivers, but I cannot enable or otherwise use the printers with Debian.
Is there some admin setting I'm not aware of to allow printing from Debian?

I've been using Kubuntu 9.10 for several months now. For most of that time, I configured and used with no problem several network printers.. a HP LaserJet 3015 at home connected to a Windows machine, and a Xerox Phaser 8560 at my coworking space connected directly to a router.
However, several weeks ago I was at the coworking space, requested a print from my web browser, and in the printer selection dialog, observed the list of printers expanding... some sort of autodetection of network printers was occuring, and multiple instances of the same printer were being offered, with slightly different names. Printing to these devices did not work.
Now, after a reboot, there are NO network printers available no matter what network I'm connected to. When I use the Kubuntu printer configuration tool and try to set up a new printer, it asks me to "Select a connection" to which the only option it gives me is "Other". When I put in an address for the printer it just cycles endlessly, never finding anything.

I have a shared printer on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine, and it cannot be seen by other computers (macbook, pc) on the network. I have the printer shared, but it is not a member of the 'Shared Printers' group. When I add it to the 'Shared Printers' group, it stays there until I close the 'Printing' application GUI. Then, when I re-open 'Printing,' it is no longer in that group. I think this is why I can't see it on the network, due to the wording of the option in Server Settings to 'Publish shared printers connected to this system.'

Debian Testing, updated daily, running Gnome.
A week ago, a new router was installed at the office and now my system "loses" the networks printers and forces me to manually select them within Cups various times a day to be able to print. The issue was not present when the old router was in place, and all my colleagues can print without problems using their Windows machines.
This only affects printing, for Simple Scan can always communicate with the printers without problems.
The printers are two basic Epson L355 (those with ink tanks) and the "official" driver (from Open Printing) has been working perfectly since I installed Debian. The whole Cups and Avahi stack is installed, and I even added system-config-printer this week to make sure that I was not missing a package.
Because the only variable that changed is the router, there has to be something there messing with my Cups or Avahi configuration.
Note that the new router had a "vanilla" installation, where no advanced settings were touched. All connected devices (computers, mobile phones, printers, etc.) are given new IP address through DHCP every day.
Where should I start? I have already deleted and added the printers within Cups several times during the week, and the problem persists. Is the router renewing the address more often than the old one did? Can this "refresh" be delayed? Should Avahi monitor devices more often?
I guess that I could configure the router and give static IP addresses to the printers, but such a setting was not present in the old router and my computer could locate the printers without problems.

I noticed that KDE does not have a way to browse for network printers like Gnome does. I installed system-config-printer to fix this(if there is a KDE route that would be nice as well). Anyway, I go to add a printer and select "Network Printer" and click "Windows Printer via SAMBA". This is where i would typically press "Browse..." but it is unclickable. This leads me to believe that I am missing a package. Essentially my question is: What are the necessary packages to access Windows printers via SAMBA with system-config-printer?

I'm having a devil of a time trying to set up printing with 3 network printers: an HP Laserjet P4014n, an HP Laserjet 5200tn, and an HP Officejet Pro 8500 a909a. The three printers are connected directly to the office intranet and have their own ip addresses. The system I'm trying to configure is running Wheezy, and HPLIP and Cups are both installed. I have confirmed (from [URL] ....) that all printers are supported.
First, running "hp-setup -i" (hplip-gui is not installed -- I do not wish to pull in half of KDE simply to configure printing), the program only finds the 2 laserjets. Adding one of them creates a printer in CUPS with an "hp:/net/<printer name>" connection. Attempting to printing a test page through CUPS fails with message "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed".
Interestingly enough, running "hp-probe -bnet" finds all three printers. However, running "hp-makeuri" with each printer's ip address fails with "error: Device not found". Hmmm, so HPLIP can apparently go from seeing everything to seeing nothing. Very useful.
Moving to the CUPs browser interface, clicking "Find New Printers" under the "Administration" tab also only shows the 2 laserjets, although each is listed three times(!). The only difference that I can see among the three versions of each printer is in the connection uri:
dnssd://<printer name>._printer._tcp.local/
dnssd://<printer name>._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/
dnssd://<printer name>._ipp._tcp.local/
Adding any one of them seems to work, although I do not understand why there are three of them (presumably different protocols, though what they are and the differences between them are, I don't know).
Logging into the officejet control panel and browsing at its network configuration, I see mDNS, SNMP, and WINS are disabled, although SLP is enabled. Looking in '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf', I see 'BrowseLocalProtocols' is set to only CUPS and DNSSD, so I add SLP and restart CUPS. No change; the officejet still doesn't show. I go back into the officejet control panel and enable mDNS (which, if I understand correctly, is essentially the same as DNSSD). Nothing; the officejet still doesn't show.

Using Squeeze and a Canon Pixma IP4600 Printer. The color on the printed pages used to be true and now it isn't, it still print is color just not the correct colors.I am color deficient or color challenged (what used to be called color blind) which dosen't mean I can't tell the difference between what is on the screen and what is printed It's not the printer as I have tested it with other Linux and a windows system and it's good.

I have an Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) installation with LTSP 5.2 installed. I'm using CUPS version 1.4.1. The other day I ran an lpoptions -d printername command not realizing that I was setting the system default incorrectly. Now my issue is that all apps see the CUPS printers correctly, except for Firefox which doesn't see any (Print to File only option). I've searched for hours trying to find the configuration file that this command impacted for Firefox with no luck.

I set up a Linux (suse 11.3)server, and able to share files with other users using MAC and Window machines within and outside the network.The Window machines are on a domain.Now I want to add printers to my Linux server and share it with the computers that are able to access the files (mac and window workstations).Is it necessary to add my Linux box to the domain to be able to share the printers? Because the MAC computers can see/add the printers on the Linux server but the Windows pc cannot.

Is it possible to access windows network printers from a VirtualBox WindowsXP client running under Ubuntu 10.10 host? The networking type is NAT. Would Bridged Networking solve the problem? If so, is there a tutorial on how to set up bridged networking for virutual box?

Total Newb here, sorry. I am pseudo-IT at work and have set up a desktop with Debian 5 (accidentally overwrote Windows in the process, but there you go). We are set up with network printers here (all Windows), and I was wondering how to go about being able to print to one of the network printers from my Linux desktop. Can I even connect to the Windows network with this desktop (it is hooked up)? Understand, I do NOT want to screw up anything on the network - they won't let me play anymore if I do. If I download the Linux driver, what do I do next?

I have this strange problem with screensaver (in fact i dont know if it is the problem, but it seems to be), i describe the problem next:I have a computer with debian squeeze installed. I use this computer only as a dumb terminal for showing information about companies, this means that it have no mouse nor keyboard connected to it. I configure autologin for a not-provileged user and autorun one app.
I disabled the screen saver for obvious reasons. This all works very fine. The problem is that when connect to the computer with ssh and reboot it, 10 minutes after started the monitor goes dark, as if the screensaver gets activated, then i connect a mouse and do some moves the screen goes to the normal functional state, then disconnect the mouse and it never goes dark again, after 1 day even!. When i turn on the computer with mouse and keyboard connected, just 20 seconds after started i disconnect those both, it do the same (after 10 minutes goes dark), but if wait for 1 minute usgin the mouse and keyboard and then disconnect both, the screen goes dark thing never came out. It just appear to happen at some point when the system does not detect any input.

I need to use the proprietary NVIDIA driver instead, but it can't install while this is active. I'm working off a fairly fresh install anyway, so I can reinstall debian if the option to not install nouveau is present somewhere during the install process. Or, is there an easy way to get rid of Nouveau from my current install altogether?

I have Acer Aspire S7-392. It has two 128GB SSD drives. They are using RAID 0. Currently there is Windows 8.1 installed on the RAID 0 drive.I am trying to install Debian 7.6 (wheezy) alongside Win 8.1 (dual boot). Actually I have already created linux partitions and installed mentioned Debian on my computer. I had to skip grub installation due to fatal error that had occurred. (Everything on existing RAID 0 volume).Now I am looking the way to install grub and boot Debian. I have disabled UEFI Secure Boot. It didn't work.
My question is:
1. Is it possible to have Win 8.1 and Debian dual-bootable on the same RAID 0 volume? How to install grub and boot debian?
2. If not, what am I supposed to do to achieve what I want (these two systems on one computer)? Delete old one RAID 0 and create two new: one for windows and one for linux partitions?

I've just finished installing Jessie and everything went well, however when I boot into the installed system the WiFi option says that the hardware is disabled. My laptop is a Lenovo G50 which doesn't have a physical switch. the odd thing is that during installation I'm able to connect to my wifi with no problem!

Have been working most of the day on this usb full install (Jesiie xfce) trying to make it leaner/faster and trying to get rid of minor annoyances like "watchdog: watchdog0 is not shutting down" (couldn't btw), finally managed to disable "You have mail" by commenting out "session optional pam_ mail.so standard" in /etc/pam.d/login. Every little change registers in terms of seconds of boot time saved and how the system responds because, well, i'm booting from a usb 2 drive.Followed some suggestions from "Reduce Debian", removed cups-common, some foreign language locales and man pages. what i can safely do with systemctl.

I'm using SolydX, based on Debian Jessie. XScreensaver is installed and disabled, but it still locks my netbook screen after some minutes and suspend mode. Waking the netbook up brings XScreensaver login window. I'd like lightdm login window to appear instead.

Using squeeze here. Until recent updates to xserver, my numlock worked as expected, but now the damn thing won't stay on anymore. Numlockx is still broken as it's always been for me in that it turns the numlock on but not the led on the keybord. I'm using slim as a login manager which everytime it's updated they set the numlock option to disabled for whaterver reason, but then that doesn't work if I enable it anyway (why have it?). So what is it with debain/(Linux) and their obsession with disabled numlocks at login, I don't get it?

I'm running a Thinkpad Yoga, and in what I suspect was an Xorg update, my TrackPoint and touchpad are disabled, and Xorg does not show the synaptics driver being loaded.
Synclient produces a "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?"
I have tried rebuilding both xorg and xserver-xorg-input-synaptics to no avail.

I installed Debian Squeeze on a new Acer Timeline.
lscpci gave me this
I used the Debian Wiki [url] to get the wireless working, but it's not happening.
iwconfig gives this:
The Network Manager shows (under Wired Networks) ifupdown(eth0) - I've never seen the "ifupdown" here. Wireless shows as disabled.
When I boot I see a few of these:
But I get No DHCPOFFERS received. So, Wireless is disabled.
