My daughter is having this problem with an HP Deskjet 3650. Acts like like is printing something, moves the printhead back and forth like it is printing something, but no ink ever hits the paper. It has done this ever since I switched her from Windows to Uuntu karmic. Printer still works OK when we hook it to the Windows box.
This sounds exactly like the problem reported in beg 409962, except that it is still happening even with packages where this problem is supposed to be fixed. We are running karmic with cups 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.1 and libpoppler 0.12.0-0ubuntu2.1 and hplip3.9.8-1 ubuntu2. We never had an earlier version of Ubuntu installed on this system, so I can't tell if it used to work sometime in the past. The printer still works perfectly when we hook it up to a Windows system. If this is the same problem, it would be a ghostscript rather than a cups issue. The symptom of moving the printhead but not printing any paper kind of hint at a hplip or ghostscript issue. We need to get this fixed, tax season is fast approaching and she needs a printer. -- the printer "print" a blank page https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189248 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
