 |
|
I'v a problem to install my printers: 1x parport en 1x usb.
Both work under Suse.
dmesg gives:
Code:
parport0: PC-style at 0x278 [PCSPP(,...)]
...
lp0: using parport0 (polling).
....
uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xb000, IRQ 9
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2
hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 2 ports detected
usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner
scanner.c: 0.4.6:USB Scanner Driver
usb.c: registered new driver usblp
printer.c: v0.11: USB Printer Device Class driver
....
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 2
printer.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x105C
"cat test > /dev/lp0" of "cat test > /dev/usb/lp0" gives no reaction.
Emerged cups (+ghostscript) and foomatic.
Command: Code:
foomatic-configure -s cups -p 63648 /dev/lp0 -n Brother -d ljet4
gives Code:
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
Could not set up/change the queue "Brother"!
further Code:
lpstat -p -d
gives Code:
lpstat: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
Seached in Forum, but did not find my probleem.
Any idea? permissions? |

Did you also compile the IEEE protocols into your kernel?

Thanks Chris,
Got the IEEE protocol under parport in my kernel now.
dmesg shows the parport printer:
parport0: PC-style at 0x278 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport0: Printer, Brother HL-1250 series
But foomatic-configure -s cups -p 63648 /dev/lp0 -n Brother -d ljet4 stlii gives:
lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
Could not set up/change the queue "Brother"!
And
lpstat -p
lpstat: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
I don't understand: Unable to connect to server.

Does it matter if cupsd is running or not?
The reason I ask is because I have a different that isnt really supported by the free drivers, so I haven't config'ed my printer this way....

Yes, it does matter
I was using a printing guide, I printed 15 february.
There was no mention of starting cupsd.
It's in the instructions now, I saw 
Testprints from Mozilla and OpenOffice with the laserprinter are OK
Start with the usb colorprinter now
Thank you

No Problem...
for the usb printer....
i'm assuming that you enabled usb printer support. also, do you have any other usb devices working. you will also want to emerge the following: usbview, libusb, usbutils.
hope this helps

A few minutes work indeed 
Colorprinter OK
Now up to a good desktop...
Have to "upgrade" my fluxbox, completely different from the 'default' KDE which comes with Suse.
Thank you again
