Since writing that I reasoned that cups might want the ppds USE flag, so I |
| 12 |
remerged it with that flag, after restoring the squeaky-clean system to a |
| 13 |
new file-system. Three foomatic packages were pulled in: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
$ grep completed /var/log/emerge.log | tail -n 4 |
| 16 |
1229776693: ::: completed emerge (1 of 4) |
| 17 |
net-print/foomatic-db-ppds-3.0.20060720 to / |

Then I let cups detect the printer for itself, and gave it a PPD file I got |
| 25 |
from linuxprinting.org, and when I asked for a test page I |
| 26 |
got "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" and the job list showed |
| 27 |
it as Unknown Stopped. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
So I deleted the printer, let it redetect it, and this time gave it the PPD |
| 30 |
file it offered me: a DJ200 file, which I wouldn't have thought to use. |
| 31 |
This time on trying a test page I got "Printer is now on-line." but still |
| 32 |
nothing appeared on the printer. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I did have this printer working some months ago, both locally and over the |
| 35 |
network, together with a Kyocera laser printer, but something has changed |
| 36 |
and I haven't yet worked out what. |
