Ubuntu :: Changed From Mint - Now Can't Print
Apr 22, 2010
Desktop PC Dual boot XP/Linux Mint Laptop was Dual boot Vista/Linux Mint.
Changed my Laptop set up from dual boot Vista/Linux Mint 8 to Vista/Ubuntu 9.10.
I have two printers one of which (Canon BJC300) is physically connected to the Desktop PC. The other is netorked through a wireless router. Worked find with Samba/Cups in Linux Mint. Can't get it to work with Ubuntu. (Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu).
Desktop PC Name is "pcname"
Desktop PC Workgroup is "pcworkgroup"
Printer Name is "Canon BJC 3000"
Not really but they'll do for the demo.
Set up printer in Ubuntu smb://pcworkgroup/pcname/Canon BJC 3000
Appears to accept it that but doesn't print. Times out with 'printer unaccessible'.
Where do I need to concentrate my efforts?
Are there some permissions I've overlooked. I haven't altered anything on the Desktop PC.

This is what prints out: no new workspace. why the script is printing out "new workspace", when overwriteWorkspaceEnv is equal to "no". Shouldn't it print out "old workspace", since overwriteWorkspaceEnv equals "no"? I tried changing the else to an elif with $overwriteWorkspaceEnv="no" as the argument and nothing changed.

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 recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist

I started to install Fedora thinking I was just going to place it in the / and /home partitions I already have but the installer only seems to give me the option to use the whole disk.I have 3 / and 3 /home partitions 2 of each are occupied by Linux Mint and Mint KDE so I wanted to use the last / and /home for Fedora.

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.

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.

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.

I am running 9.10. I have a HP Photosmart 7350 printer. I have it installed and printing. But the issue I am dealing with is that it will print a full page and then print a blank page..then a full page..then a blank page. Actually they aren't completely blank..it shows half of "2 of 6" or whatever page it is on. Like it cuts that in half and prints the 2nd half of "2 of 6" onto a separate new page.

I've been using mint 9 now for a few months and love it (yes i'm a noobie, lol). Every now and then, maybe twice a month, everything freezes and the only thing I can do is to reboot. The question is, is this a somewhat normal thing to happen using Linux? I have used other distros as well and it seems to happen with them too.

I cannot put in a blank dvd or cd and have Mint 9see the drive. When I put in a music cd or some other cd or dvd I burned it sees it just fine. I'm running an amd 64 bit with 4 gb of ram and have been using Mint 9 for about 6 month now without any problems at all including the dvd/cd recorder. I havn't changed anything in the computer so I'm not sure whats going on.

my sound stopped working on anything running through the browser (firefox) then shortly after I had no sound at all. I had just installed an update for mint earlier but the loss of sound was not immediate. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling firefox when I noticed no sound on it, but I am not sure if I did it right since it looks so different than the windows install process. I found the mint update packages but didn't immediately notice anything that might be sound (but what do I know)

I'm now running ubuntu 9.10 and dual booting with 10.04. I want to check out Mint 9 (all 64 bit btw). I have downloaded Mint 9 64 and burned the ISO at the slowest speed and I've reburned it on many dvd's. When I put the dvd in and restart I can't get it to go to the dvd writer. It is set to be first in the bios and when I put in something else like GParted it works just fine. I'm not sure what the problem could be, perhaps a bad download? When I put in the dvd and go to Computer, the dvd shows up and I can see the Mint 9 iso file. I extracted the iso and here is the md5sum.txt:

I have a dual boot, Ubuntu 9.10 and Lucid 10.04. I want to install Mint 9 over ubuntu 9.10 so I have a dual boot of Mint 9 and lucid. I'm in step 5 of the 8 steps, which is manual install but I cant figure out what to do next. 9.10 is in /dev/sda6 and the swap is /dev/sda7. When I highlight the partition that has 9.10 and click forward I get the message: No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu. I'm a noobie at this and do not know what to do next.

I am running Mint 8 KDE 64-bit edition, which is very nice by the way. Last night I tried to run the upgrade to lucid, but it did not commit any changes, and the version is still listed as Mint 8 Helena, which is based on Karmic. I am guessing the Mint guys have set apt-get to look at the Mint repositories rather than Ubuntu.What do I need to do to bring my system up to version 10.04, including Gnome 2.30 and KDE 4.4.2?

I was reading through the list of features for the new Linux Mint release and I found something that I have been looking for on Ubuntu for a while... The New Backup tool.Is there anyway I can get this on Ubuntu? I mean after all, Linux Mint is built on Ubuntu.

I wish to install an older version of HandBrake, and it's saying something about how the newer version isn't available because of issues with the new versions of GNOME. I've still got Mint 8. So my question is, which version of Ubuntu is Mint 8 based off of? I think it's 9.10, but I just want to be sure.
