Hi all, I'm stuck
I want to print from a laptop to a printer connected to my desktop using cups. Printing from the desktop works fine. printing from the laptop under windows works fine. Printing from the laptop under linux with a command like this works: lp -d printer_name@desktop_name <file> But this is not ideal, since the dekstop, which is considerably slower than the laptop does the rasterising from postscript to PCL (its an hp laserjet 6l). It would be much nicer to setup a raw printer on the desktop and setup a local printer on the laptop to print to this using the appropriate driver, but this doesn't work :( When I try to print a test page or anything else, the laptop error_log file says this (minus time data): I Job 5 queued on 'lj6l' by 'dcpurton'. I Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstops (PID 2967) for job 5. I Started filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/cupsomatic (PID 2968) for job 5. I Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp (PID 2969) for job 5. E PID 2968 stopped with status 32! E Print file was not accepted (client-error-bad-request)! E PID 2969 stopped with status 1! The error_log on the desktop says this: print_job: No file!?! What is wrong? cheers dc -- David Purton [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?
