 |
|
After some reading I'd say that I have done all I need to print using CUPS but, obviusly, I have missed something. I hope someone can help.
Parallel port support: COMPILED INTO THE KERNEL
PC-STYLE hardware: COMPILED INTO THE KERNEL
IEEE 1284 transfer mode: ENABLED
Character Devices - Parallel Printer Support: COMPILED INTO THE KERNEL
| Code: | | less /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/autoprobe |
results in
| Code: |
CLASS:PRINTER;
MODEL:Stylus COLOR 760;
MANUFACTURER:EPSON;
DESCRIPTION:EPSON Stylus COLOR 760;
COMMAND SET:ESCPL2,BDC,D4;
|
/dev/lp0 exists and it is a link to /dev/printers/0
results in
| Code: |
network socket
network http
network ipp
network lpd
direct parallel:/dev/lp0
direct scsi
serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200
serial serial:/dev/ttyS3?baud=115200
direct usb:/dev/usblp0
direct usb:/dev/usblp1
direct usb:/dev/usblp2
direct usb:/dev/usblp3
direct usb:/dev/usblp4
direct usb:/dev/usblp5
direct usb:/dev/usblp6
direct usb:/dev/usblp7
direct usb:/dev/usblp8
direct usb:/dev/usblp9
direct usb:/dev/usblp10
direct usb:/dev/usblp11
direct usb:/dev/usblp12
direct usb:/dev/usblp13
direct usb:/dev/usblp14
direct usb:/dev/usblp15
|
And if I try to send something to the printer with:
| Code: | | cat some_text_file > /dev/lp0 |
Nothing at all happens !!! I mean, no error AND no printing. It seems I can configure CUPS correctly, but if I try to print something nothing at all happens. It doesn't complain but It doesn't print.
As I have checked that the parallel cable is connected, what else can I do ? What have I left behind ?
Any Suggestion is welcome?
Thanks

What do /var/log/cups/access_log and error_log say?
Ciao

I don't know if it helps but a few lines of access_log and error_log follows

While kde doesn't complain when I print something, if I print a test page from localhost:631 I get his error:
| Code: | | client-error-not-possible |
does this turn on a light?

At last I managed to get CUPS working !!!
How?
Installing everything from the beginning !!!
It's quite disappointing since I can't see why one should install something which is already installed to have it working properly.
Probably something went wrong when i first installed it.... |
