According to localhost:631 the printer was set up successfully but when I tried to print a test page the printer made some whirring noise then stopped and went off-line. In the LED readout on the printer it says: PC Load H4. According to the error log the job was "completed successfully". |

I recently had this sort of problem but only when printing across the |
| 13 |
network. In my case I had entries in /etc/locale.gen on all my |
| 14 |
machines that looked like this: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
en_US ISO-8859-1 |
| 17 |
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
For some reason (which I did ask about on this list but don't think I |
| 20 |
got any responses) the 8859-1 entry has started causing new problems |
| 21 |
with CUPS. I removed that entry (on my print server only), regenerated |
| 22 |
the locales on the server and everything started working again. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I have NO idea what caused this. I always worked before. The clue was |
| 25 |
in the /var/log/cups error files. |

Probably this has nothing to do with your exact problem but keep it in |
| 28 |
the back of your mind if you can't find another solution. |

Good luck, |
