 |
|
Hi
I have setup a printer (Epson Stylus Photo 870 - USB) using the printing manager in KDE 3. The status of the printer is "idle, accepting jobs".
If I try to print a test page from the printing manager I get (in /var/log/cups/error_log):
| Code: |
Job 3 queued on "ep870_1_" by "frederic".
Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 3!
|
If I try to print a test page from the web admin interface http://localhost:631/ I get (in /var/log/cups/error_log):
| Code: |
Denying user "" access to printer "ep870_1_"...
|
| Code: |
# lpstat -p -d
printer ep870_1_ is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
system default destination: ep870_1_
|
Any idea? |

| did you accidently configure yourself to be denied access to the printer when you set it up in kde...check to be sure that you are included access ...also for the print job...i have a problem with my printer and the new ghostscript....it wont print...i have to use the 6.53 version....but do teh permissions check first try it again then look at the driver adn filter your using. |

I did setup my user as "allowed" under KDE although it does not seem to be taken into account...
From http://localhost:631/ when I try to print a test page I get the error mention above (1st post) in error_log and I get the following response in the browser:
| Code: |
ep870_1_
error:
client-error-not-possible
|
I have added my user to the "lp" group but still no success... and I'm using Ghostscript 7.05

| Code: |
Job 3 queued on "ep870_1_" by "frederic".
Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 3!

I've experienced the same failure after upgrading to the current CUPS/Ghostscript versions. It's driving me nuts, especially since I can't seem to get it working again even if I roll back to the previous versions!
The bug appears to be completely idle - no updated status information since Tuesday when it was entered. Is that accurate? How good are the Gentoo developers at documenting their work on bugs?
Overall, a great distro. This is the first 'real' problem I've experienced with it. I only wish I was a good enough coder to contribute to solving it. |
