Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have a postscript printer HP4000N that is working fine. |
4 |
|
5 |
All printing works except lp or lpr when sending a plain |
6 |
ascii file, If I print a postscript file with lpr it works fine. |
7 |
|
8 |
So where cups is suppose to automagically convert the |
9 |
ascii file to postscript it fails. It all use to work, |
10 |
but, I'm not sure when it quit working (probably an |
11 |
upgrade to cups. None of my system can print to this |
12 |
ethernet based print, with lpr and a ascii file. |
13 |
Windows can. All other Gentoo printing is fine to this |
14 |
printer(web, kpdf, ghostview etc etc). |
15 |
|
16 |
When I print a test page from (http://localhost:631/ |
17 |
the test page prints just fine. |
18 |
|
19 |
I not sure if its the ppd or foomatic or what is misconfigured. |
20 |
|
21 |
I rebuilt cups and foomatic-db-ppds and that did not do the trick. |
22 |
When I use commands like 'lpr filename <plain ascii text>' |
23 |
it just prints the first line and the pages and pages |
24 |
of blank pages. About every 10th page has a single line |
25 |
across the top of the paper. Both lp and lpr do the same thing. |
26 |
|
27 |
I went thru the cups gui (localhost:631) but everything |
28 |
looks ok...... |

|

|
31 |
ideas or suggestions are most welcome. |
