OpenSUSE :: 11.4 Printing - No Printers Found
Sep 7, 2011
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 am using Fedora 12. I am connected by Wi-Fi to a large network with dozens of printers (the network is running CUPS). How can I set up my fedora box to "see" those printers so that "print..." file menu option works? Also, I know the address of the CUPS server; when I go to System->Administration->Printing and I go to Server->Connect I can connect successfully and I can see all the many printers on the network. But I haven't figured out how to print from my favourite programs yet.

I'm a newbie on lucid lynx 10.04
The Hardware:
Mac Mini late 2009 running 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard/OS X)
Dell Dimension 2400 running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
HP Photosmart C4680 multifunction printer/scanner/copier
Canon PIXMA MX310 multifunction printer/scanner/copier/fax
Netgear Wireles-N 150 router model WNR 1000v2
[Code]...
As the HP Photosmart printer is currently connected, it is visible over the network by the macintosh however will not print (all jobs appear in the macintosh's queue without a "hold" designation, printer not on pause. pause/resume only changes the tag on the printer but does nothing to cause the queue to begin printing). Although I can navigate within the printer setup to the existing printer on the network, I cannot connect the printer on the mac without finding a new "printer" instance on the Ubuntu machine when I get there. The printer instance which works is the one the Ubuntu machine created, and the printer instance which does not work is the one generated by the mac, which doesn't work either from the mac or when printed to from the Ubuntu machine, now that this instance exists there.
With the printer connected to the mac, it is visible over the network to the ubuntu box however asks for authentication for the print queue and will not accept any password established for either machine. It also does not specify what account name the password should match with so is an utter quandary.
lastly, I did run dmesg but the result was too large for my terminal's log and scrolling back through it I did not find a section relevant to the HP (or Canon) printer to post here.

I was trying to add a virtual PDF printer and show I installed cups-pdf. Supposedly it is supposed to list the virtual pdf printer in the System->Administration->Printing dialog when I choose Add printer.But it does not do that. All it shows is the remote printers on my file server.So, opened up a web browser and when to localhost:631 and used the cups interface to add a virtual pdf printer, but still it does not show up in the printing dialog.

I have recently replaced an older server with a new Intel Xeon quad-core processor. The old machine was running FC6, the new machine is running FC11 64Bit. The problem that I am having is that printing to networked printers prints 2-3 pages, then waits 8-10 seconds and then prints 2-3 more pages. This repeats until the printout is completed. My first thought is that FC11 (or somewhere between FC6 and FC11) introduced some way to limit activity to devices? The confusing thing to me is that I went from a single CPU to a quad core machine, increased the memory from 1Gb to 3Gb, moved from a 32 bit machine to a 64 bit machine and I am running the same applications... they just run slower now...

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.'

I bought a Kodak 5300 printer/scanner a year and a half ago and then found that it would not work under 9.04. So I packed it away. Now I find reports on this website that it can be made to function properly on Lucid Lucy.
I find references to the printer all over the place, but when I try to print something nothing happens. I tried the print routine in 'gimp', 'gedit', 'thunderbird, and 'firefox'.The printer as a stand alone will copy and scan. About a year and a half ago it was connected to a Windows machine and worked.The Samsung you see works just fine.

I have recently installed Fedora 13 dual booted with windows 7. Everything on both OS's works fine with the exception of Linux printing. I am using a Netgear WGPS606 print server. (it works fine on Windows 7). I have, from Linux pinged the server (192.168.1.200) and have gotten a response for each string sent but following the usual procedure [System-Administration-Printing then Add (a printer)- Expand Network Printer etc.] The response is that there is no printer found at that address. (the firewall was disabled).

This printer has worked fine with FC14 on my AMD x86_64 system for months using the printer drivers from the Brother Solutions Center web site (see below). I installed FC15 today from the network CD and installed the same printer drivers. Test print works fine, and just now this web page printed OK using Firefox. But when I try to print from LibreOffice Writer or Thunderbird, a message appears briefly at the bottom of my Gnome3 desktop that the job is being printed and then another message saying that printing is complete. Nothing is sent to the printer, however. In Thunderbird, the Print dialog window says the status of the MFC-240C is "No pages found!" I tried deleting the printer using System Setings -> Printers and reinstalling using system-config-printer, selecting the Brother MFC-240C, with no change.
Brother drivers:
mfc240clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm
mfc240ccupswrapper-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm

This probably way TOO much information. Sorry for the long post. I bought a Kodak 5300 printer/scanner a year and a half or so ago and then found that it would not work under ubuntu 9.04. So I packed it away. Now I find reports on several websites that it can be made to function properly with ubuntu 10-4 Lucid Lynx. I downloaded and installed the recommended driver - c2esp. [URL]...

I have been using a HP OfficeJet 6110 for years on Linux without problems but now it's time for something new. I was considering HP OfficeJet 6500 but the reviews aren't that convincing, like the printer starts up very slow and is very loud. I would like something quite and fast that works well in a small Linux network.

I have a little problem with my Samsung CLP-300 color laser printer (usb wired).Works as always, in opensuse (that means, nearly perfect, just color a bit problematic if printing in good quality).But since the upgrade (by means of zypper) to 11.3, in VirtualBox (not OSE, the one with USB support), the printer appears greyed (not the rest of USB devices), so that I cannot use it from the wndows inside VirtualBox (which is the only way to do a real high-quality printing).Does not seems to be a problem with VirtualBox (the resto of USB are properly detected and connected), but of any type of change that I cannot guess in the way udev manages the printer, so that this USB connection works in a different way from the rest (and from what it did in 11.2).That's why I post that here and not in software subsection. I think it's the proper place. If not, please, tell me.The dmesg output when I tur on the printer is the following one:
[352074.297027] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
[352074.411969] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=3272
[352074.411973] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

I'm trying to set my openSUSE desktop up to use the printers on my office network via Samba. I managed to get it working in 11.2 but 11.3 is giving me some trouble.I am able to access the printers and use them but I have to enter my network credentials each time I print. In 11.2 I was able to "save" my username/password and was not required to do this. Are there any Samba packages I need to add in addition to the basic ones? There seems to be a lack of documentation on this particular subject, most is concerning Windows clients printing on Linux print servers.

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.

opensuse v11.2 linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop x86_64
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:
Code:
lpr -o media=A4 -o media=Upper -Plp document.ps
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.

OpenSuse 11.2 (64 bit) KDE 4.3.5
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)?
