Hi everyone,
I saw on the web that CUPS stands for Can't Usually Print Stuff.
That describs my current situation perfectly. Here's the situation:
1) CUPS 1.1.15 (testing) on a mostly-woody box
2) Lexmark z53 on USB
3) /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark/Lexmark-Z53-lexmarkinkjet-ppd.ppd as
my ppd file
Once upon a time, CUPS worked for me. Then I tasted of the fruit of
knowledge, the Lord grew angry, and cast me out of the Garden. Now I
struggle to find my way in.
- printing broke somehow
- I uninstalled everything (apt-get remove --purge)
- I reinstalled everything
-printing was broke worse (couldn't use the web interface at all)
- so I upgraded to testing, and now the web interface works
But now I'm in the same predicament, namely, I can't print.
The only thing I can think to do here is to enclose a little bit of
the error log. I suspect the problem is in the interaction of CUPS
with other parts of the print system (like ghostview?) but I can't
figure out where exactly.
So, I've enclosed my printers.conf and and some of the error_log. Can
anyone help me???
First, the Printers.conf:
<DefaultPrinter commandlinez53>
Info Lexmark Z53
DeviceURI test:/dev/null
State Idle
Accepting Yes
JobSheets none none
QuotaPeriod 0
PageLimit 0
KLimit 0
</Printer>
--> this seems fine -- test:/dev/null is what I used to have to have
in that line, always worked before, though I never understood why
I needed it. Anyway, changing it back to usb:/dev/usb/lp0 just
adds one more error.
Now, the error_log. I've edited it somewhat, but left a lot in since
I don't know what's important. The errors start in the last section,
which I've marked. I hope someone cna figure out what's going on!!!
thanks,
matt
here's the log:
