OpenSUSE :: Start Print Has Gone Missing
Oct 8, 2010
A couple of weeks ago I installed openSUSE 11.3/KDE 4.4.4 over openSUSE 11.0/KDE 3.5. It went well except for what turned out to be a glitch with the KDE default Plasma Desktop Workspace, which prevented the system from shutting down (the screen would go blank and then nothing would happen). Changing the Activity in the Desktop Settings to Folder View got rid of the glitch, returning everything to normal.
The printer icon/widget is now a question mark "?." I can't say for certain when this happened.Clicking on the widget produces the message, "KDEint could not launch 'opt/kde3/bin/startprint'."The command for the widget is 'opt/kde3/bin/startprint %U'.The file opt/kde3/bin/startprint no longer exists.What additional information, if any, might be needed, and what can be done to get this widget working again?

Somehow an app on this box seems to have disappeared long ago which was configured to start immediatedly with a root login (eg su). Now, whenever upgrading permissions to root or logging (and assuming login as root), an error displays saying "cannot find <application>"
Considering root usually is different than other logins, am not sure where to start looking on an OpenSuSE box. I've tried without success
BASH -v to enable verbose mode before executing a "su."
BASH --debugger to enable debugging mode before executing a "su."
Logout, Login as root and inspect /var/log/ hoping to find some logfile that audits the login sequence, but may be looking at a wrong logfile.

New netinstall of AMD64 Jessie and using xfce4
I cannot find Print Settings which is usually listed under Settings and I have looked elsewhere in case it has been placed somewhere different and can find no trace of Print Settings.
I have checked synaptic and there are many installed apps listed under 'print' and 'cups'

After upgrade to ghostscript 9.02 from current all print jobs fail with: 'There is a missing print filter for printer HP_F2480'
The printer is an All-inone deskjet F2480 and the cups printer queue has been
setup with the hplip tools. Before the upgrade it was 'working' with quite a few bugs...eg image not printed correct, multipage printing garbage. (page for page printing was the workaround)
Do I need to remove the printer and define it again?

This is an slice from an other wise successful script. What i need it to do is print one <tr> then print <td>$stat_array</td> fours times, quit print a </tr> then print another <tr> , prints the next four $stat_arrays in @stat_array, and so on and then a </table>.What it does is print all eight $start_arrays then a </tr>
Code:
my @table_header = ("Process", "Region_Permission","Region Violation","Message Type");
my @stat_array =("ibfarm102 - localtick" ," Greenwich" ," hibmis100 - procHKHD2 - Hongkong" , "PidMonRsp" ,"
[code]....

After the 4th install The printer will at least produce a test page, but the available resolution is low, I suspect I need the gutenprint enhanced drivers, printer is a EPSON R285. Where do I find the nvidia libs so I can use the Nvidia driver for my ancient 8500 GTX. Using the package manager find nvidia shows nothing.
Are these libs held on another repo, as in other distros?, and is Acroread availble? is there a listing if the repos somewhere, I have some apps that have to be compiled and are a pig to get going, due to using those funny cut down libs that ubuntu use. When I backed up the last failing version of FC13, which hung as soon as yum was started, didn't print ect, I didn't close firefox down before copying the file. So the user config is locked, ie, you get firefox is already running, and fails to start. I found parentlock and deleted it, but but there is another lock file that needs to be removed, and I can't find it.. Anyone know the location of the lockfiles for firefox.?

I searched for solutions for hours and yet can't manage to get my printer to work. I downloaded (as it was suggested elsewhere) the "cnijfilter-common" and the "cnijfilter-ip2600" that I found on Canon website. However when I want to install the first package, it says : "Error : Failed to satisfy all dependencies (broken cache)". (I use Ubuntu 9.10) Edit : I found that the missing dependency was "libcupsys2" but I can't find it on Synaptic...

As a refuge from CentOS (no way I will use KDE4 or gnome) I ended up with Xubuntu 11.04 x86_64 and I like it a lot.Except for the missing screen at start-up everything went smooth until I tried to install VMware workstation 7.1.4 (I have a full license).If I install with sudo sh VMware_____.bundle the installer makes it through just fine but if I try to start it all I get is a short splash of a screen and it's done. Starting it manually it runs through a bunch of things and shows a lot of gtk warnings until it gets stuck and that's it. No screen at all.
Out of desperation I installed it with sudo su - and then the sh VMware.....bundle. If I then start it still as root (su -, vmware &) it works just fine but it doesn't work as user.I tried a lot of the "fixes" I found on the VMware site and googled but unfortunately no success.

I used to have Windows XP Professional on my computer, then I decided to install Ubuntu but it didn't work for me it gave me really weird errors, I thought I uninstalled it, and then I installed Debian on my computer, Debian ran smoothly but when I tried to start Windows the GRUB from ubuntu appeared and when I tried to start windows again it showed and that the hal.dll was missing, I reinstalled Windows but still the same error appeared, this also affected my Debian GRUB so I had to install it again, I don't know what I should do in this case. How can I delete ubuntu's GRUB for good? I've already formatted my windows partition but it keeps using Ubuntu's GRUB.

In principle my java installation works perfect now I tried to increase priority with nice. So I put special user rights to nice:
chmod u+s /usr/bin/nice
And then tried:
nice -n -20 java something
but this gives me the error that libjli.so is missing.

The start menu in kde 4 is broken. Shutdown and restart are missing.
I hope they weren't removed for some wacky paranoid security reason. My Linux partition is encrypted and I use strong passwords. Any sensitive files or folders that I have are also encrypted.
The switch user doesn't work. Although present, they just either lock the user's screen with a password needed to log back in or log out the user entirely. Linux is, last I heard, a multi-user capable operating system. The switch user button never really worked well at all & I usually avoided using it.
Even XP can handle this sort of challenge. When I was running Fedora 7 with KDE 3.something or other, these functions worked flawlessly. They also worked under Fedora 8.
The logout button appears to work properly. I had a whole bunch of updates to install, resulting in the start menu breaking. The damage is restricted to KDE. The updates have improved my wireless connection, sound quality and speed.
I'm running the newest kernel for Fedora 11, which is what I'm using with KDE 4. I would rather not break KDE entirely or have to use another desktop. I tried fluxbox, but I would like to stick with KDE. What I'm worried about is whether or not KDE will simply continue to deteriorate or break entirely.

I have a system with 2 hard drives. One drive (D) is my Ubuntu 10.04 system and the other drive (C) is my Windows XP system.
When I boot, I get BIOS then GRUB. If I choose the XP selection I am taken to a Boot Loader that now longer works. I get an error saying: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing. <windows root> system32hal.dll Please reinstall a copy of the above file.
Can I remove the boot loader and let Grub take me directly to the C:/windows? If so how?

I initially had a problem accessing the CUPS interface (see my other post) and got that resolved by adding the user "cupsys". Now, everything "looks" ok, and when I print a test page, it shows it as completed (in CUPS). However, the page never prints.
The printer is a Canon MP600 (using the canonmp600en.ppd file to configure it). Here's the output of my conf file.
Code:
# Show troubleshooting information in error_log.
LogLevel debug
[code]...

Interesting problem: For the first time with Xubuntu 10.10 64bit, I am finding certain applications print corrupt. A varying amount of letters / numbers either get substituted/print a blank space/ print a box etc etc. This corruption seems to happen from a Pdf ( evince ) or Spreadheet ( Gnumeric ) Opening the same Pdf on another machine (ubuntu 10.10 32bit) prints perfectly. Opening the same .xls file on the original computer but using OOo Calc prints perfectly.
I guess I have ruled out any problems with the printer itself or the network JetDirect box. I have re-installed CUPS and evince and upgraded to the latest version of HPLIP but the problem appears unchanged.

I cannot print pdf files. I have tried using okular and xpdf. The documents display in the program, but print preview shows a blank page. The printer then sends out blank pages. I have tried printing on 2 different printers using usb cables. Using terminal to process the commands shows error:
Quote:
xxx@xxx:~$ xpdf
***** MediaBox = ll:0,0 ur:611.976,791.968
***** CropBox = ll:0,0 ur:611.976,791.968
***** Rotate = 0
Segmentation fault
Converting to .ps also is blank.

My wife has a canon MP470 printer and running ubuntu 10.10. I am able to print black and white, but unable to print photos. I got it to work using another driver, but not the 'correct' one for this printer. I have searched a bit and don't see anything about ubuntu 10.10, just older versions. Or should I just network her to my printer....?

I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 with a Laserjet 5M printer. When I attempt to print a job from Firefox or from Okular, the job never gets onto the print queue. However, I can print test pages on the printer and also print from OpenOffice, so this seems to be app-dependent. I know the jobs aren't being queued because the job number doesn't increase (as shown by the jobs for the test pages). Both Firefox and Ocular give every indication that the print job has been processed correctly.

Not sure when CUPS started acting up. I have the latest 13.1 current software installed.The first page to print is always OK, but all succeeding pages are overwritten. The second page shows the first page on top of it, and the third shows the preceding pages on top of it - and so on. Has anyone else seen this problem?I guess the printer buffer is not getting flushed correctly. If my configurations were trashed in some way, I don't know where to look for a fix.

How can I combine multiple single page prints into a single print job? For example, using Firefox on Linux one can print a web page such that each sheet of paper has four pages printed upon it. I would like to combine several separate web pages so that for example, web-page-a, web-page-b and web-page-c (each less than one print page long) are printed on a single sheet of paper.
I would like to do this without having to use some form of image editor to combine and manage manually created temporary files.

I've just installed OpenSUSE 11.2 with KDE via DVD. I've checked media for errors. Installation went fine and so far the OS is great and is pleasing me better than Kubuntu.
Except for printing.
I have an Epson Printer plugged in a Wireless router via LPD wich always worked fine. In 11.2 I installed the printer and, on first printing, I noticed I got no tray icon. I had to go to CUPS to manage printing. I got an error in one of the prints. I canceled it in CUPS, but after that I was unable to print again. I always got an LPD backend error. I had to turn it physically off and on to get it to work again.
With Kubuntu I installed the printer via KDE manager and I always managed print jobs without a problem. I never had to touch the printer - except to get the jobs, of course
So,
1) How do I get a systray icon for my printing jobs? Is it possible to manage print jobs without going to CUPS?
2) Why is it choking like that? Is it just with me?

I can print normal pages, letter size, default normal output settings. When I try to do any kind of photo printing from any application, Digikam, Konqueror (3 or 4), Dolphin, Gwenview, Gimp, where I have set specific page size and output for photo settings, nothing prints, the job dies.
Finally by using the kdeprint3 subsystem I was able to see the error, the print system in kde4 shows no helpful info in the printer applet. The message reported is '/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster failed'.
I am running the default cups printer system that came with the standard 11.3 install and standard repositories.

opensuse v11.3
linux 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop x86_64
I must have done something while wandering through the CUPS web interface but I cannot say what it was. Nevertheless, now I must enter a password every time I print a document.

I have a fresh install of 11.3 KDE 4.4 and am trying to set it up to print via CUPS over the network. The printer tests OK from the YAST set up page and will print fine using OO. The HPLIP icon is showing in the system tray.
When I try to print from Firefox the printer is never discovered and Firefox quits responding so does Thunderbird when you try to print an email. Kwin pops up a message about terminating the application which you have to accept. Konqueror just locks up when you try and print from it and you are forced to kill the application.
Printing works perfectly on the Host machine regardless of the application used.
This is a real showstopper here. It's the wife's new machine and she must be able to print from Firefox and Thunderbird.
