I already setup pdfprt to be paused. |
| 32 |
Then I checked for ~/.lpoptions as a normal user, and didn't find it. |
| 33 |
It appeared that /etc/cups/lpoptions still pointed to the old printer |
| 34 |
(neither pdfprt, nor gray-deskjet). |
| 35 |
So I tried to do: |
| 36 |
# lpoptions -d gray-deskjet |
| 37 |
lpoptions: Unknown printer or class! |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Then I tried 'lpoptions -h localhost -d gray-deskjet' and it worked. |
| 40 |
This changed the default printer in /etc/cups/lpoptions. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
However, lpstat still says it cannot connect to server, and for |
| 43 |
example enscripting a text file fails as well: |
| 44 |
$ enscript todo |
| 45 |
lpr: error - scheduler not responding! |
| 46 |
[ 1 pages * 1 copy ] sent to printer |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
$ enscript -P gray-deskjet todo |
| 49 |
lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable |
| 50 |
[ 1 pages * 1 copy ] sent to gray-deskjet |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
$ enscript -d gray-deskjet todo |
| 53 |
lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable |
| 54 |
[ 1 pages * 1 copy ] sent to gray-deskjet |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
In fact, I just deleted pdfprt, and the situation still has not |
| 57 |
changed (ever after restarting cupsd). |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
I just ran lpstat with strace, and I notices something that I |
| 61 |
suspected all along, it tries to connect to my old print server: |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631), |
| 64 |
sin_addr=inet_addr("10.1.1.4")}, 16) = -1 EHOSTUNREACH (No route to |
| 65 |
host) |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
I hope no-one minds if attach the whole output from strace here. |
