OpenSUSE Hardware :: Printing All Mixed Up After The First Page
Apr 22, 2011
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.
I have a HP printer connected to Ubuntu 10.04. Just recently I noticed that when I print something it also prints a cover page with some info about print job. Does anyone know how to stop printing the cover page? This is a serious waste of paper.
I have set everything in my printer settings to "US Letter" both via system-config-printer, and in the localization settings for KDE "System Settings". However everytime I attempt to print the printer will say that it's A4 and asks to load paper. I have searched everywhere for this default and I cannot find it in KDE. While in Gnome, all works as expected with printing (even when printing from KDE applications). Does anyone know how to change the default from A4 to US Letter?
I would like to print full page on a HP Deskjet F4280 using any kind of software (GIMP for example).
I tried to edit the printer ppd file, turned hardware margins off in the print properties in GIMP, yet when I try to print an image 8.5 in wide on letter size paper, GIMP still leaves approx. 1/8in gap on the paper edge.
The printer hardware can do it: when I simply use the copy function it can print to the very edge of the paper.
Question: does anybody know how I need to edit the ppd file (or other config files) to convince GIMP (or other programs) to print using the full page?
After some effort, finaly managed to get my Canon PIXMAiP4200 printer connected as a network printer. (I connect it through the USB printer port on a DLink DI-524UP router) Everything seems ok so far, except that I cannot find any means of specifying that printing should start from the last page.
I recently built a server from an old box using Ubuntu Server 9.10. This is my first server and I am very new to the server world.I have an Epson Stylus NX400 connected via USB. I have managed to configure it to the point where I can see the printer listed on my client laptop and can print a test page. However, I cannot print anything else. When I access the job history through the CUPS adminI can see that the print jobs were recognized and marked as complete, even though the printer never physically engaged.
I've been able to print with other distros (Mint, Sabayon) without problem so I'm guessing the way my printer is configured with Slack must be wrong. My CX6600 is recognized and when I try to print, it responds, but by printing a page filled with black ink. I have tried printing in Okular, Firefox and OpenOffice with the same result.
I'm trying to print a PDF from Evince it don't work at all...
When I try to print in grayscale it send a blank paper to the printer...When I try to print anything in color I can't change the margin of the paper, it always put like ZERO margin and the text go throw the end of the paper.
The paper size is A5 (Half A4) and the printer is in LAN in a Windows computer.
It's me or when I print in grayscale it print faster? So, it's an update or something? Because last time I printed from Ubuntu (like a month ago) it printed perfectly OK in grayscale (I don't know about the margin).
I have a FC11 box, with an HP prineter attached. I trying to print from my laptops after I have setup samba and shared the printer , It was working fine when I was installing FC4 and FC5. I am not sure what is missing. when I tried to print from the XP box I got "Test pge failed to print" error.
I've been looking though different editors for one that has good printing support. Ideally it should be able to print C++ code with line numbers, syntax highlighting, multiple columns per page, customizable fonts and sizes and a print preview feature so that I can make sure it looks right before sending it to the printer. It appears that notepad++ had at least some of these features, but it is not available on linux. The best I could do so far is to copy/paste the output of 'cat -n foo.cpp' into oowriter and format it into two colums. I don't get synax highlighting though and I have to manually replace tabs with a few spaces as well as some excessive leading spaces before the line numbering.
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.
ow Debian init system is organized actually (btw i am using stretch) ? I see systemd installed, with some services run from it (systemctl shows a small list), but at the same, i still see /etc/init.d full of traditional init scripts.
I've just spent the past two days trying to figure out how to convert an NRG image to BIN/CUE format. I've found all kinds of info on how to convert it to ISO. I've tried lots of different packages (K3B, Brasero, AcetoneISO...). No luck.
My NRG is an image of an old DOS game I want to play in DOSBox. The catch is that it's mixed-mode, so converting to ISO is not a possibility. DOSBox will mount BIN/CUEs, so that seems the route to go. But while K3B supports creating mixed-mode CDs, it doesn't read NRG images. And while AcetoneISO will mount the NRG, only the data track is accessible; the audio tracks aren't.
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.
After upgrading our vmware template server from debian wheezy to debian jessie the output of the df command seems broken with regards to the root and /usr mount.We are using LVM on this machine.I've been searching for quite some time for a solution, but lack of linux knowledge is bothering me to get it fixed. The system seems to run fine without issues.
I can temporarily resolve the issue (untill next boot) by doing a lazy umount and a new mount of for example the /usr.I found a thread that something has changed in the way df presents the devices, however it is not consistent in our case (it shows a mix of both) and it seems to go wrong at an earlier stage during boot.Either show all dm devices or mapper devices is fine with me although I have a slight preference for the mapper names as it makes it more obvious LVM is being used.
When the summer-holidays are a fact and it's time for some fun I will be upgrading my home network with a diskstation of some kind, and since all models I currently looks at supports 10/100/1000 M/Bit networking it got me thinking.
My desktop also supports 10/100/1000 M/Bit networking and since I already uses a 10/100 M/Bit switch between my desktop and (file)server, it would be very easy to buy a new switch that also supports 1000 M/Bit networking and then connect the diskstation to that switch as well. But the router the new switch will be connected to is only running 10/100 M/Bit so the question is, at what speed will the new switch be running?
I have a Dell 17R Dual Booted with Win7 and Ubuntu 10.04.I had problems getting online via Wired and/or Wireless.Ubuntu 10.10 is up, running, and updated. Broadcom Corp 4727rev 01 Wireless not detected [URL].The solution involved the installing of Ubuntu 10.10. However, now after a complete shut down I cannot boot into Win7 anymore. The boot loader recycles to the selection screen and I can go back to Ubuntu 10.10 but not Win7.
So this guy brought a CD full of crap (audio, picture, documents) and wanted to view the content. Ubuntu mounted it but said it was a blank CD. I think Ubuntu has some problems handling CD with mixed contents based on googling, I found some several years old bug reports and threads, but they either get closed without answers or just died because no one cares to respond.
Yesterday, I had the problem where I would browse to linuxpc2 and it would send me to linuxpc5. Theses computers are on my AD domain (server2003), so I decided to set a dhcp reservation on the server and del /var/lib/dhcpcd/*.* This fixed 1 of the 3 linuxpcs that had mixed up or matching ip addresses. What is happening now, and I've never seen this happen before, maybe it's a server thing, I'm not a huge network guy, so here it goes... from the server I can brows with the explorer to linuxpc2 and all is well, it's IP is 192.168.0.150, but when I ping it, or do anything command line (ping linuxpc2) it pings the address 192.168.0.101 (it's old address). From a linux box browsing to smb://linuxpc2 shows me no shares, and ping goes to ...101 address. If I brows to smb://192.168.0.150, all is well and ping 192.168.0.150 is fine also. What could be causing this? only 2 of my 8 linuxpcs are doing this. all installed and configured within the same day using suse 11.1 and updated.
I have a multi-boot system in my MSI Wind netbook that includes Win xp home, Ubuntu, and another Linux distro. The internal HD is 160gb, but most of it isn't used. I just bought a 60gb SSD, and would like to use it as the primary disk in my netbook. I would like to clone the Win xp and Ubuntu volumes to the SSD, which would leave me plenty of space, even if I added another distro later. With gparted, I can see that there is an initial logical volume of about 4gb (dev/sda1) with 775mb used, and by mounting and checking it I can see that it has a boot folder in it. It is formatted as ext3 (no flags). I don't understand the MBR concept very well, so I'm wondering if this is where the MBR is stored. The next volume is my Windows volume and is formatted NTFS with a boot flag. Subsequent volumes are clearly Linux volumes, including swapfile volumes. I have already formatted the SSD as NTFS, but as of yet haven't added any partitions.
(1) How do I clone the volumes I want onto the SSD? (Presumably with dd or a similar utility). (2) Does the destination volume have to be initially set to be the same as the source volume? (3) Do I need that first partition or would a new one automatically be created if I reinstall Ubuntu or any Debian-based distro from scratch or use a utility to fix the MBR?
I have several websites available via both HTTP and HTTPS, with images served from a separate virtual host. This breaks in IE because the images are loaded by the CSS, and because they're in a separate Virtual Host, I have to use absolute paths in the CSS.
Example:
[URL]
Renders in IE like this:
[URL]
The issue being that the wiki.archserver.org is being served via SSL, but the header logo is served by img.archserver.org and the CSS uses the absolute path [URL] to load the logo. So, the only solutions I can see are:
1) Change the CSS to always use SSL. This will slow down the site, increase load on the server and is generally a poor-practise as a "solution"
2) Maintain 2 copies of the CSS, serving a HTTP version to HTTP requests, and HTTPS version to HTTP. This creates a management overhead which is less than desirable.
3) Create an Alias in Apache to send requests for [URL] to [URL] internally then rewriting the CSS to use relative paths.
4) Screw IE; it works in Firefox, Chrome and every other browser AFAIK. The sites are for a Linux project anyway.
On FC11 64 bit with Adobe flash plugin for Linux installed, I see segfault errors from "npviewer" in /var/log/messages. The only browser I have tried yet, Firefox, has glitches every now and then. Sometimes it shows the title of a page in a tab, but the page is blank. This can even happen when I try the Google main page. Is it true that npviewer has something to do with Adobe flash? Is there a way to fix the problem? If it is caused by Adobe flash, is there a different plugin that will replace Adobe flash player?
i am able to try ubuntu and everything works fine until i try to install. the menu comes up to the first page where it tells you to plug in your machine and make sure there is enough disk space and network connectivity. when i hit next on this page the mouse icon changes but the next page never loads. the longest i let it hang there was 2 hours. ive tried multiple times with the same result.

What is my problem? I have a page (one page - text an graphic) to print. When I sent it to my printer it prints OK. When I sent it agian, the output is totally garbled. When I sent it again (a third time) it is OK. Sent it again (4th time) it is garbled. Sent it again ... you get the picture ;-). Alternating good and bad pages.
What is my setup? I run Fedora 14 with Cups 1.4.6. The printer is a HP Deskjet 940C. It is connected to a linksys wireless print server. It is configured in CUPS to use ipp printing. The driver I use in Cups is 'CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.6 Simplified (color, 2-sided printing)'.
