 Posted: Tue Feb 07, 2006 5:58 am Post subject: Printer not working in cups |
 |
|
I've never actually tried to setup my printer w/ cups and I've been using linux for years. So, I figured, it must be a snap. 
I've got cups running and the system has "found" the printer, however I get an error when trying to print a test page (or anything else.)
| Code: | | Error: client-error-not-possible |
Wow...these guys don't mix words do they?
Anyhow...when I walked through the cups wizard for setting up the printer, it found it as one of the USB devices and I figured from there it would be a downhill ride. At this point I've got no clue what to do...can someone help? I scanned the forums and the wiki and I can't find anything helpful.
It's an HP PSC 750 (printer/scanner/copier). When I "lsusb -v" it shows up:

Dear zambizzi,
I suppose that you have installed the relevant (net-print/hpoj, net-print/hplip, net-print/hpijs) packages that will help you with this task.
Would be useful if you report where you got that message and what you were doing when it popped.
On the other side, one of the easiests ways to configure a cups printer is with the kde control center, in admin mode.
Is a guided step by step wizard.
Usually, printing with cups is a snap

Try using the web-interface once cups is running
http://localhost:631

Well, this is the first I'd heard of it, so I'm doing it now!  I'll see if this helps...anything special I should know after install them? I'm not using KDE, BTW - I'm using Gnome 2.12
Thanks! |

Yeah, this is how I set everything up, however, it wasn't working even after doing so. |

I installed hplip since it was the most relevant...deleted the printer, restarted cups, re-created the printer (cups web administration) and tried a test page again - getting the exact same error. I defined the location as "/dev/usb/lp0" - as it exists and it is the only usb printer attached to the machine....but that was just a guess.

I'm doing everything in the cups web admin console (http://localhost:631)

I'd hate to see what you call complicated!? |
