 |
|
Hello,
I recently bought the US Robotics MaxG 5461 wireless router / printer server. I have an AMD64 Gentoo (kernel 2.6.14-r2) system attached to one of the wired ports of this router. Attached to the USB port of the router is a Samsung ML-1610 laser printer. The router shares this printer using IPP on address http://192.168.2.1:1631/printers/My_Printer.
Before I bought the router, the Samsung printer had been locally attached to the Gentoo system. Although CUPS did not provide an ML-1610 driver, the ML-1510 driver worked perfectly fine. I am using CUPS version 1.1.23-r6. Now, I have not been able to print to the remotely shared printer, although I have tried all kinds of settings.
My /etc/cups/cupsd.conf looks like this:
| Code: | DocumentRoot /usr/share/cups/docs
LogLevel debug2

My /etc/cups/client.conf is empty.
When I try to print a test page from the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631, all seems to go well until I see the following messages in /var/log/cups/error_log:

The latter four messages are repeated ad infinitum.
Any help will be highly appreciated, because the presence of the printer server was one of the main reasons for me to buy this router and I am getting very frustrated right now.
I have also tried to print from my laptop, under both Fedora Core 4 and the Ubuntu Live CD, but to no avail. The only person that can print right now is my girlfriend from her Windows XP laptop (which was connected and printing happily within 1 minute). Of course, this is unacceptable for me, being a big Gentoo Linux-fan 
Does anybody have any suggestions?
If I should post more information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance and a happy newyear! |

I'm still trying to solve this problem. According to the router the printer is Ready to print. However, when I send a print job, I get the following message in the error log:
| Code: | | I [28/Dec/2005:13:46:54 +0100] [Job 14] Printer busy; will retry in 10 seconds... |
The following observations confuse me:
- The fact that my girlfriend can print happily from her Windows XP laptop to the printer on the router and my Gentoo system cannot, indicates that there is a problem on the client side, being my Gentoo Linux machine.
- On the other hand, I have tried to connect the printer to the USB port of an old laptop running Fedora Core 4 and sharing it via IPP with CUPS. I then succeeded in printing remotely from my Gentoo system, after fiddling with some cups settings on both server and client. After that, I reconnected the printer to the US Robotics router, did not change any settings on the client (except for the Device URI) and the problem persisted. This suggests that some setting on the server side (being the router) is causing the problem.
I have tried searching for solutions to the error message listed above, but all of these solutions are targeted at situations in which the CUPS server resides on a Linux system and require the server side cupsd.conf to be tweaked. I don't think I can get access to any such config file on the router (if it has one at all), or does anybody know whether this may be possible?
Right now, I am really confused. Can someone please try to think along with me on this problem? I'd really appreciate some help here.
Thanks in advance!
PS I have been playing with the client's cupsd.conf which currently looks like this (client has IP 192.168.2.3):
