I'm working with two systems (mine and somebody else's) trying to print photographs -- trying is the right word, too. Both boxes are Slackware 13.0, both printers are H-P Photosmarts (a 3210 and a C4680), both systems have the latest and greatest HPLIP and CUPS software installed and both print everything else just fine. Photographs? Well, nuts: can't figure out how to get an image printed on standard 4x6 stock (meaning: fit or fill the image to the stock). Been fiddling with HPLIP settings, CUPS settings, fooling around with GIMP, twiddling everything I can come up with and there is no joy in Mudville to be had. About as close as I've gotten to, you know, a printed photograph that looks like a printed photograph is supposed to look is setting HPLIP options then printing with lp file.jpg but that doesn't actually work all that well.
You probably own a simple camera and know that it usually stores the pictures using an ever-incrementing counter as part of the filename. so you have filenames of the sort <code><counter>.<extension>.
Say now that you have pictures from your last trip along with some earlier pics from a previous trip. assume also that the older pictures have all been transferred to the pc but you still keep them in the camera for whatever reason...
So coming back from the last trip you only want to back up the latest pics, and you want to do this through your console and not through some window manager.
What's been puzzling me is to find a quick way to cp ONLY the latest pics.
My options include:
- Use 'find' command with regex. not really helpful when regex start getting really long (indeed regex doesn't seem to be particularly useful with filenames that contain an incr. counter value - correct me in i'm wrong)
- Use find command with the 'mtime' option and copy every day of the trip individually.
- Wildcards are not really an option since don't want to copy everything.
- There doesn't seem to be a quick way to let bash know that i want to copy, say p8957.jpg to p9234.jpg through some sort of list or smth)
- A for loop in bash would be a solution but i would like to avoid it.
- Mc commander would also be a solution but i would prefer again a pure console solution..
Is there a way to quickly (=with little typing) create a list of the files that i want and let the cp command use it?
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.
Is there an easy way of copying just new photos from the SD card onto the computer and avoiding duplicates even if the file name changes?
Currently my partner will occasionally copy the files from the SD card onto the computer and then rename then. Then when I try to see which photos to bring across I can't do it.
I would like to create some posters of A3 size quickly using some photographs, figures, tables,text boxes,etc. What is the suitable app which can do a quick and clean job? I do not find Scribus very user-friendly esp with text boxes.
I have a HP Laserjet P1005, and foo2zjs (foo2xqx actually) and it won't print. I'm trying to print locally without any particular messing (Other than cups) using the foo2zjs driver. I updated, deleted everything printing, reinstalled foo2zjs, cups, foomatic-filters, and even gutenprint. Then I sorted out the niggles that I could. usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 returns
Using current 32 bit I'm unable to print anything outside of KDE. If I print something from Konqueror or Koffice for instance, my printer shows up in the dialog and everything prints fine. However if I use openoffice or abiword, etc then my only option is to "print to file" It is a samba shared printer that is attached to a 13.1 server, but I don't know that that makes a difference.
Everytime when I click on print, print preview or page setup, thunderbird disappears and I get this error:
Code: /usr/lib64/thunderbird-3.0.5/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 6569 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"} Because I very rarely print emails out of thunderbird, I just recognized the error now, but I don't know how
I swore I wouldn't do it again, but I did it anyway and installed 'current,' but I'm using Xfce not KDE. Everything was working very well, until I tried to print this morning. From Okular it would load the paper then stop and not print. From OpenOffice it would load and print, but the output was garbage.
Finally, I moved copies of what needed to be printed to the Xp partition, booted to Xp, and documents printed out just fine. As noted I'm running Slackware64 'current' with the latest versions of Cups and Hplip. The printer is a HP 940c. Hplip reports everything is fine, as does CUPS when running it in a browser (localhost:631).
I've been running Slackware 13.37 since RC1 (so I'm a relatively new Slacker!). I set up CUPS to start as a default service during my install process. I print once in a while, but my computer is not a print-server per se. Do I have to have it auto-started in order to just be able to print on-demand (like, from LibreOffice or Okular)?
Adobe Reader 9.3.3 on Slackware 13.1 (32 bit). This is the stand-alone reader, not the browser plugin. The Reader crashes the second time I open the print dialog. Even if I cancel, and do not actually print. For example: Open a PDF, File=>Print, Cancel, File=>Print. Then the Reader window is gone, with no message anywhere I can find.
I'm running slack64-current.I setup samba to share a printer on my home network. I can print to the printer locally.The printer is visible on the network. However when I try to print anything on the printer via samba (or cups for that matter) from either the local machine or the remote machine, everything acts as if the job went through, but nothing happens. I'm sure I've seen this before on another slack machine that is currently unavailable, but I can't remember what the answer was, and I'm trying to be more precise with this setup so that I actually learn something.
smb.conf PHP Code: #======================= Global Settings=====================================
I get this segmentation fault if I want to print. Code: /run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 27751 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@" I tried firefox 3.6.x .3.5.x 4.x, perhaps it's necessary to know that I've GSB installed. I didn't understand this.
I have my Slack box (Slack 13, 64bit) and wish to print to a Cannon ip1980 inkjet (32 bit drivers only. Source is only partially open, some libraries are closed source so cannot compile my own 64 bit driver) connected to WinXp laptop using the Windows drivers via wireless and Samba.
So I came across a little Windows app called RedMon that redirects a printer port to any other app [URL]
So basically what happens now on the Windows laptop is I have a virtual printer setup whose port is redirected to Redmon (call this Ghostscript2cannon) which in turn redirects it to a program called gsprint (command line tool that takes standard input - the print job - converts it to Postscript/Ghostscript for none PS printers) and then finally it goes off to the Cannon printer for printing using the Windows drivers - so far so good.
So the problem - basically I cannot get the printer to print from the Slack box even though I can see the shared printer and send a job to it. After a job is sent from the Linux box to the XP laptop if you double click on Ghostscript2cannon (on the xp machine) the job shows but there is no printer activity, the job just sits there and does not complete.
Some Diagnostics:
I can print a test page from Ghostscript2cannon directly on the Windows laptop so I know the Windows printer/redirect part is working.
From the Linux box I can see the shared folders of the XP laptop from Dolphin so we know the Samba/wireless part is functioning (although I cannot see the printer)
Well, that's about it - the firefox and thunderbird packages included on the first batch of official 13.1 updates keep crashing when I try to print a web page or an e-mail. Seamonkey, updated as well, can print as usual.
Trying to make a Canon Pixma 3-in-1 MP250 to work with my Slackware. I've took the drivers from the canon website (they have .deb, .rpm and sources there) and compile. Basically I followed the instructions from INSTALL files in each subdirectory (backend,cngpij, etc).
Then I upgraded also CUPS to 1.4.3.
Installing the printer in CUPS, I end up with:
Code: Description:Canon MP250 series Location: Driver:Canon MP250 series Ver.3.20 (color) Connection:cnijusb:/dev/usb/lp0 Defaults:job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm
It seems ok. But when I send a test page (or any other kind) to printer, it shows some activity on the led display, cups reports the job as completed but nothing happens!
As an extra, I tried to convert .deb packages to .tgz and install from them. The same result, except now the scangear utility is working (so scanning is ok).
How can I find what's missing from here? Maybe it's a bug with cups/drivers or something is missing from configuration?
p.s. On other machine I have an Xubuntu (Karmic Koala). Installed there from .deb packages and the printer works as expected.
After installing libre3.3.2 using the Slackbuild scripts, I found that it displayed fonts correctly, but doesn't print the same font on the printer. The output of the printer should be Arial, but is instead some elongated, overlapping mess.
The same Slackware package installed on SW13.1 prints normally. (Same computer, different partition)
Spadmin used to control the printer fonts, but apparently not anymore.
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?
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.

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:
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.
Since slackware 13.0 (upgraded to 13.1), I haven't been able to print anything. I can add printers no problem using the cups gui (or whatever). However any print I send to any printer fails because of:
"Unable to open image file for printing!"
I can post the whole error log if that helps, but I can't see much in it. I haven't been able to print for about 6 months, which is getting a bit annoying.
p.s, as a I lazy option I upgraded to the cups in -current, but that didn't help (although I don't think it was a very different version).
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.
Just installed drivers for Lexmark pro200 - S500 series. However although it is recognised by the system and has a tick by its name, And tells me it is connected via usb file goes to print que but will not print. Also tells me it is Printing - localhost! is this correct?.
Our one remaining problem seems to be printing. She has an HP OfficeJet 6500 USB printer. We have the computer conntected. Strangely, when I boot from the CD the printer shows up as installed even though I did nothing to install it. After having submitted a print job it shows the printer status as "idle" and the print queue is empty. I tried deleting that printer and re-installing. The installation went as one would expect. However the results are the same. I'm beginning to think that somehow the problem is related to the fact that we are operating from the live CD. getting this thing to print from the live CD.
