Running openSuse 11.3 32 bit clean default install with a HP 2575xi connected via USB. Sometimes, printing fails halfway through the last page. The following shows in the CUPS error log file:

Unusual problem here -I'm posting in hardware as I'm not certain where it fits.Home laptop (mainly wife's in use) upgraded from 11.3x86 last week to 11.4x64, pretty much everything is awesome.However, when she attempts to print a PDF with multiple pages per sheet (study notes),
System : Debian squeeze, Gnome, amd64Printer : Samsung ML-1640 SeriesDriver:Samsung ML-1640, SpliX V. 2.0.0Printer works, but printing a pdf file from evince fails ( nothing is printed )...http://localhost:631/jobs/ shows : "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftoraster failed
recently i have upgraded my centos 5.0 or 5.1 installation using 'yum upgrade' to centos 5.4 since the upgrade I am unable to print any PDF files as landscape, they get printed but do not seem to be rotated and are aligned a little bit less than when using portrait (test using the GUI and LP)
when printing a text file in portrait and landscape everything goes well tested on labelprinter Brother QL-580N and tested on Samsung SCX-5530FN Laserprinter both using the network I already tried 'yum downgrade cups' this works but with no success
I can't print via our network printer (HP DeskJet 3650) which is connected to a WinXP PC on the network. My laptop is wireless connected to the network. My distribution is openSUSE 11.2 and I tried setting up the network printer via CUPS:
Went to http://localhost:631 Add Printer Device: Windows Printing via SAMBA Device URI: smb://UMBRELLA/SMOKE/HP3600 Make: HP Model: HP DeskJet 3650, hpcups 3.9.8 (en) Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Then clicked the "Print Test Page" button. At this point the printer actually starts making sounds.. the same sounds it makes when it's preparing to print something. But then, it stops. The printing job is still present in the printer queue at the WinXP PC, but it won't print.
So I looked at this documentation: [URL]
Step 2 from this documentation tells me to install a PPD file.. which I can't find anywhere. It's not on the original HP driver CD, neither can it be downloaded from this page: http://www.openprinting.org/show_pri...P-DeskJet_3650.
I have a Konica 2530DL colour laser and have used it with versions from 6.06 onwards.
However now, with 10.10 I find I cannot print at from most apps eg OpenOffice or PDFs. I get errors on video frame showing on the printer but nothing obvious on the PC.
Test print and gedit text prints works fine and so does using a VM with Lucid running on the same host prints fine too from anything.
Can't see any other comments about this problem anywhere but I know the printer is fairly common and has worked well with Linux in the past.
Using it with IP printing on port 9100 and allow the installation to detect and select the driver. Not setup anything clever and I have the same issue with a Lucid upgrade to 10.10 or a clean install. However the VM running Lucid prints fine. Must be something changed on Maverick somewhere.
Apologies if this was asked before -- I have googled the last bytes out of my Firefox but fail to find anything helpful. Here's my problem:I have a foomatic hpijs cups-driver for a HP Inkjet (Non-PS printer) installed. Printing from UNIX-hosts works. I have cups configured not to allow raw-printing (/etc/cups/mime.types: #application/octet-stream, /etc/cups/mime.convs: #application/octet-stream).I have now installed samba-printing, the cups PS-drivers plus the Windows PS-drivers are populated to /etc/samba/drivers/W32X86/ and get pushed to the WIN-Client.Problem is that when I print from a WINXP client, the printer outputs heaps of Postscript-text instead of my page.I have tried to debug this a bit but fail to find anything really useful. My observations so far:
- The samba-pushed HP_Photosmart_3300.ppd (in both /etc/samba/drivers/... and in the resulting dir on the WINXP client) reads: *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 foomatic-rip"
I have an older version of ggv on RHEL for viewing PostScript (.ps) files, but the binary I have refuses to open files from AFS. ggv-2.12.0 is able to open these files from AFS just fine on my Mac. I was not able to find packaged binaries for RHEL 5 or 6 for ggv-2.12.0, so I downloaded the source and compiled it. Unfortunately, it fails to start, printing these error messages:
[code]...
Does anyone know the fix? Or alternatively, is there another good and well-maintained PostScript viewer for Linux?
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.
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?
I am trying to get network printing using IPP working, as per tutorial by Swerdna Linux Printer Sharing: Suse/openSUSE 10.x 11.x IPP Print Server for Linux & Windows Clients I used to have it working fine using openSUSE 11.1, then I upgraded to 11.4 and haven't been able to get it working since.
I can ping the server ok (ping 192.168.1.30) but cannot connect from web browser to [URL] it says "The server at 192.168.1.30 is taking too long to respond." This is the same from any workstation, Windows or Linux. The printer works fine locally on the server box. I noticed that Swerdna's tutorial (which I used successfully to setup this on 11.1) hasn't been updated for 11.2 upwards, I noticed that a couple of files that needed to be changed previously I don't even have in my current 11.4 version, ie /etc/cups/mime.convs and /etc/cups/mime.types. I'm wondering if these are replaced by something else now, and if that has any bearing on my problem.
Printing from KDE no longer works. Opening a simple text file in Kwrite and attempting to print the document causes kwrite to hang. While Googling on this problem I came across this thread. The case is very similar.
[URL]
Running kwrite from the command line does not provide any information to diagnose this behavior. Printing works from Firefox and OpenOffice. Printers produce test pages ok.
This behavior came about after the HP C6380 stopped scanning. During my investigations I was forced to reinstalled hplip. This may have broken something.
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?
I am having trouble printing both in Firefox 3.6.13 and Gimp 2.6.2. When I select File > Print in the menu, the print window appears. But the inside of the print window is almost empty, i.e. it does not show the list of printers available. When I try to close it, I get the message: 'The window with title "Print" is unresponsive. Do you wish to terminate this application?'.
After I click 'yes', in Gimp, I get the following error message: Plug-in crashed: "print" (/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/print). But the main Gimp window does not disappear. In Firefox, after I click yes, program crashes altogether. I use OpenSuse 11.1, Linux kernel 2.6.27.21-0.1-mp, my architecture is x86_64. It's curious that I can still print using Konqueror, KEdit, or using lpr from the command line. Is it the problem with something beyond the applications themselves (Firefox and Gimp)?
Strangest thing happened today. I tried to print a simple text document from Kwrite and noticed it would not print. I tried it again selecting a different printer. No result. I tried copying the contents and pasting into Libre Office, then print...no printers to select...Odd. I decided to check on cupsd status from CLI. It was up. Here's where things get stranger. I open CUPS web manager and select printers...'No printers found' Okay, that's odd since I should have about 12, and they are showing up in Kwrite but not in LibreOffice nor CUPS manager.
Assuming Kwrite used some sort of cache I decided to check out /etc/cups/printers.conf....Hmmm zero byte file with but in the same directory a file printers.conf.O dated about 7 days ago. So I did an /etc/init.d/cups stop, did a cat printers.conf.O > printers.conf and /et c/init.d/cups start...all is back to normal. WTH?! What waxed all of my printers?
I have following setup on my one of the customer where we had suplly thin client. Customer have their old system with SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.2 with HP LaserJet P1008. They had configure this printer thru foo2xqx & HPLIP 2.8.10. Our Thin Client which we had supplied with SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11.1 & HPLIP 3.10.2.
I am able to install HP printer on my thinclient but thru IPP but, when we fire any print command I am getting "Stopped: /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed" error. If I can connect printer on thinclient I am able to print. But, thru IPP share I am not able to print. Also, customer have their old thinclient also on which they share this printer so, I am not able to detach this printer from that system.
I an an HP Pavillion laptop with SuSE 11.4. I had 11.3 working but I had to upgrade (install, not update due to other issues).
Now, when I go to YAST2 ->Hardware->printer->Print via network->Connection Wizard-> TCP Port and set the IP address and hit TEST CONNECTION I get an "OK". I select "Kodak" as the printer manufacturer and get these as my driver choices.
It uses port 9100 which looks open. I pick one driver and YAST creates the config. I then hit "Print test page" and nothing happens. This happens with either driver and a couple I downloaded from who knows where.
The printer is a Kodak ESP 5210 that runs with Windows 7 and Vista on the same network. Any ideas? Any tools I can use to sniff it out? I dropped the firewall to no avail, moved to the internal zone, no joy. It worked under 11.3 but I did not record the configuration steps or setup.
I am having issues printing to an hp laserjet p1006 printer. I tried to manually set up the printer using socket://10.0.1.1:9100 and a popup said user name and password.The printer listing said I needed to install missing plugins. So I deleted the printer listing and then installed the hplip-3.11.run without problems and let the installer open the printer port in the firewall. I do not get the same pop up, and it is still not printing. My box has a wireless nic and I run ./wlan0down then ./wlan0up to get the nic working after boot up. The printer is attached to an apple airport express and works with an imac wirelessly.
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 recently loaded Inkscape on my 11.3/kde4.6 system.I have Inkscape 0.48 loaded, had same issues with 0.47. Program functionality is fine, except for printing.When attempting output to either a laser or inkjet, the output has excessive margins and appears to be formatted for A4, not letter. The print drivers are set for US-letter.I have seen references to Inkscape using gtk-printing or gnome-printing. I do not see packages with this specific naming available via yast.The printers work fine from GIMP, OpenOffice, etc.I also have loaded Inkscape to Win32 box, open file from 11.3 box, and have similar issues, margins seem set to large offsets, but there is no place in the page setup to set margins.My solution so far has been to save to PDF, then print from Ocular, which does work, just cumbersome.
I have hp and samsung printers HP L3000, HP P1320,P2035,P2015 and Samsung ML750. Now when i like to print a landscape doc from libre office and i select landscape orientation but still the report comes in portrait format.even if i go to cups n change printing orientation from auto to landscape I still not get a landscape report.Another problem is that in windows I selected the row in excel to print then printed using fit to one page.But in suse I dont see that option
Whenever I want to print from Libre Office, it's default printer options are somehow set to duplex long edge (standard) and the print quality is set to economy. I want this changed to Duplex Off and print quality set to standard. I've tried setting Libre Office's printer settings (File > Printer Settings) and when that failed, I went to File > Templates > Organize > Commands button and selected Printer Settings and changed them from there. None of these worked.
Whenever I open a document, the print quality is always set to economy and duplex is on (even when it is not needed). I have to keep changing it each time I print a document. I allow my children to use this computer for homework at times and I don't want them to have to mess with the driver settings all the time (more of a chance for something to go wrong or be set incorrectly). I've also checked the printer settings from within YaST and they are all ok.
I did try changing the settings from within the CUPS interface but when I did that, I could no longer print. The system couldn't connect to port 631 anymore and I had to go into YaST again to make it reconnect to the printer port. BTW, when I looked just now at the default printer settings within CUPS, everything seems to be set right, duplex is set to off and print quality is set to standard, which is what I want. Why does Libre Office seem to be ignoring these settings? How can I fix this (easily I hope)?
I have a Panasonic 3123 dot matrix printer which I am trying to get working on my Dell Vostro 420 running 11.3 (x64). Since Dell decided to eliminate on board parallel ports from their systems I've added one with a Startech PCI1PECP PCI card (uses a NETMOS NM9805CV chipset). I've confirmed that the printer works using an old laptop running Windows 2k with a LPT port running in ECP mode. When attached to my desktop the printer will (usually) shift the pin carriage etc when I perform a cold boot but will not respond when sent a test page in yast or cups (it is detected after a fashion and I have assigned the appropriate ppd from the Omni package).

I have an HP C4795 printer and lately when I print something nothing happens until I reboot and then the printer will print. How can I fix this problem? This was printing from Okular pdf reader.
I am not sure if this is the right place for this or not, but I am having a problem getting my HP6300 series all in one printer to print photo's with proper colors, all colors seem to run. I have hplip installed and set up to print photo's and it still prints colors like runs instead of correct.
Both my printers can't print more that one page on the row whatever the application I use.
I used to have a all-in-one printer HP PSC 1510 that I installed without any trouble.
A few days ago, I've got another scanner-printer HP 1050 that I tried to install on the same laptop in order to use it in another place. I had to take the new version of HP-lip, since 11.3 did not provide the right driver. I just printed the test page and it seemed okay.
Then, I upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4. And I had to print a long document. Only the first page was displayed correctly. All the following pages are more and more mixed up. It prints allways the same paragraph with big dark lines...
Following to cup, the drivers in use are : Deskjet_1050_J410 : HP Deskjet 1050 j410 Series, hpcups 3.11.3a PSC-1500-series : HP PSC 1500 Series, hpcups 3.10.2rc1.9
But the trouble is the same for both printers.
I can't guess if it comes from HP-lip or from my upgrade.
