OpenSUSE Hardware :: Printer Not Working (using Driver, And Then Cups)?
Jul 21, 2010
i'm using a Lexmark Pro 905 printer , it's a local printer with Ethernet connection to the pc.I installed the driver and this used to work on 11.2, now with openSUSE 11.3 it's not working. THe yast test page comes out but nothing is printed from open office.I opened port 661 UDP in the firewall but still no result comes from open office.I then added the printer in cups but i still have an error and no print : ( cups-1.4.4-2.3.i586 )

Ok have setup my printer under suse 11.3 just fine and printing perfectly, and have added the printer to a windows 7 client, but had to get the disk to install the windows driver. Is there any way that i can put the windows driver on the linux machine so that when i go to a windows client and want to add the printer, i can just connect to the printer and the windows driver will be installed over the network like it does with windows servers?

I wish to update the drivers for a printer which is being shared using samba - can I just upload the new drivers and overwrite the old or do I need to delete the old drivers before uploading the new ones

After struggling with a bad LP cable I have finally proven that the cable, printer and port all work. I booted in to another OS and was able to finally print. Now, I'm trying to get server 10.4 to recognize the printer and then I want to configure CUPs so I can run this machine as a headless print server, among other things.
Apache is running as I managed to get nagios to run and I can pull it up from another PC via a browser.
sshd is running as I'm logged in from another PC via ssh.
Problem number 1 is how do I install a driver for an NEC Superscript 870 printer? As it is lpstat returnes with :
karl@zeus:/etc/cups$ lpstat -t
scheduler is not running
no system default destination
Once I am able to print then I need to print to the server from other hosts on the network.

Printing was working without a problem until I had to cancel (rudely by switching the printer off in mid-print). Since then I have been unable to connect, through CUPS, back to the printer.lsusb detects and shows the printer is connected.
Code:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04b8:081e Seiko Epson Corp. MFP Composite Device
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I have installed Canon ImageRunner 2018i on my linux box using CUPS web interface. When I try to install this as a network printer from a Windows XP machine, the windows XP machine keeps asking me for a device driver. Is there a way to configure the printer on CUPS/Samba so that when I try to install it on Windows XP machine as a network printer, it does not ask me for a device driver?

My printer no longer prints anything with exception to the TestPrint page.Any other job I give it, it says is "completed" in the queue, though nothing has printed. Installed cups again, after a complete removal. No change. Heres what troubleshooting gave me:
Code:
D [06/Mar/2010:07:26:01 -0500] cupsdSetBusyState: Dirty files
D [06/Mar/2010:07:26:01 -0500] cupsdReadClient: 12 POST / HTTP/1.1

after looking at this thread [URL]... i found out that my printer is no longer working with the latest CUPS package (in -Current). I tried to delete the printer and re-adding it again with the same driver, but it failed with an error message: Bad device-uri "cnij_usb:/dev/usb/lp0"! I have tried to use the driver provided by Canon or by the automatic detection by CUPS, but it ended with the same results

This post is for an HP parallel printer but I think it should work for at least "some" other parallel printers.I am sure that someone smarter than me will follow up this post with a "well, just do this and that" and you will have your HP Laserjet 6P printer ready to go, but since questions litter the forums of MANY distros on how to get "at least" an HP parallel printer to work, I'll post this anyway.This may or may not work for you if you do not have an HP but you can try it.The install printer box will let you do an install for an HP Parallel and it asks for how it is to talk to it, through CUPS sock or "local host'. When we get through what I recommend you should chose "local host".

Is there a setting to auto-resume stopped printers? I believe to remember that the CUPS configuration file had an option for setting a time interval to retry and restart printers, but I cannot find it any more, nor something similar in the [URL] dialogues. We have an old ink jet connected by USB to a laptop docking station, which is used by my wife and myself. Currently, we always have to go to the CUPS page after docking and resume the printer manually, whenever we "scheduled" a printing job while being undocked. (Yes, I do have a dedicated box that could also act as a convenient print server, allowing us printing over the local wireless network, but after rearranging our living spaces, I am not allowed to place the printer within an USB-cable's length next to that box. it's complicated.

I am trying to test GAINSCHA receipt printers on opensuse 11.4They have supplied drivers and filter. I have added filter to /usr/lib/cups/filter and drivers(ppd files) to /usr/share/cups/model/gainscha/. I can add the printer model and driver from Yast.The printer is a serial printer and I connect to it using 'usb-to-serial' converter. I can raw-print direct to printer by, ' echo hello > /dev/ttyUSB0 '. It works.Serial port parameters used while setting up Cups queue are correct. ( Tested via cutecom, opening port with the same parameters and writing to the port. It is also printing).Now when I print from any application, the job is held up in Cups queue for reasons, ' no permissions to port'. I tried becoming root and printing from kwrite.

I can't get my Lexmark printer (X1270) working on Ubuntu. I've trawled google and all the posts are a few years old with broken links to drivers. Does anyone know how to get an X1270 or a general printer driver for lexmark working?

I have been using Opensuse since 11.0, and I never had any problems with the setup of CUPS printing (university based). Now for the first time, after many months of flawless printing using 11.2, after installing 11.3 the printing has stopped working. I use the same method: Print via print server machine -> CUPS server (IPP) and I test the connection. In my 11.2 it shows "OK", in 11.3 (I also tried with firewall off) I am getting the following (I have substituted the actual values with xxx for privacy).

I have a printer configured on my Ubuntu server using CUPS amd made it available to the local network. The printer is recognized on my other Ubuntu machine without any problems.
But on my Suse laptop, the printer is not recognized. Using the YaST printer Configuations, I choose the option "Recieve Printer Information from Remote CUPS servers. But no printer is found.But... when I choose Do All Yout Printing Directly via One Remote CUPS server and enter the correct IP address (192.168.1.100), the printer is found andI am sure the printer info is broadcasted because it shows up on my second Ubuntu PC. But why is it not recognized by default on my Suse machine

I can't make work my HP LaserJet P1006 printer on USB with OpenSUSE.
It's being detected as usb://HP/LaserJet P1006 but there is no specific driver for it. I try to use the generic HP LaserJet driver but didn't work. There is no driver for P1005 model, either.
Someone had the same problem here: Cups Printer Driver Incompatibility Hp Laserjet P1006 Printer

I'm trying to setup a headless CUPS server, but no matter what I do, I can't add a new printer. Not using the web interface, or the GUI of another computer connected to the CUPS server.I always get to the point shown in the attached screenshot, and then I am asked for a password, which never works. I've practically slaughtered my cupsd.conf, and it now looks like this:
Code:
LogLevel info
# Allow remote access
Port 631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
[code]....
it looks like the above should tell CUPS to never ever ask for authentication, but as you can see in the second screenshot, it still does!

I tried to configure this printer and clicked on "add printer" but the drop down menu did not contain my printer. Does this mean that the printer driver does not exist?
When I tried to print out a test Open Office document it came up with "printer error" However Open Suse did recognise my printer as a DX6000.

I need to install the driver and I downloaded the Canon install package. The instructions read:
# rpm -ivh [file name of common module for CUPS drivers]
This rpm package construct was used in the Fedora distro.
Does it also work in openSUSE?
The only other construct given was for a deb package.
I looked in YasT for the driver but it was not there.

Friend got a Brother HL-2130 Printer and couldn't add printer using Yast as the drivers are not found by Yast.
I went to Brother Solutions Center : Brother Driver for Linux Distributions and downloaded the drivers provided by Brother.
rpm -ivh *.rpm
and everything works well.
How could we prompt the developers to update openSUSE so that these working drivers can be added into Yast to benefit future users.
