 |
|
Hello all,
For some reason, I am unable to get CUPS to print. When I emerge it with the usb USE flag, it doesn't recognise my printer. When I emerge it without the usb USE flag, my printer is recognised, but won't print. I have a Dell 3000cn, and it used to be fine on my former machine. On my new machine, though, I go to print, it queues the job, but then immediately says "stopped" under the job state.
Here's the information about the printer from CUPS:
| Code: |
Description: Dell Colour Laser Printer 3000cn
Location:
Driver: Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlmono (color, 2-sided printing)
Connection: usb://Dell/Laser%20Printer%203000cn
Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided
|
and the information about my CUPS installation:
| Code: |
# emerge -av cups
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] net-print/cups-1.4.6 USE="X acl dbus jpeg ldap pam png ssl threads tiff -debug -gnutls -java -kerberos -perl -php -python -samba -slp -static-libs -usb -xinetd" LINGUAS="-da -de -es -eu -fi -fr -id -it -ja -ko -nl -no -pl -pt -pt_BR -ru -sv -zh -zh_TW" 0 kB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
|
Any ideas on where to further troubleshoot?
Cheers,
Nathan Zachary

Anything in dmesg or CUPS log file?
I can't think of a lot of other things to check, other than perhaps running cupsd in a terminal and seeing if it throws off any messages. |

Thanks for the help. I'm an idiot; I don't know how I missed this line in the logs:
| Code: |
E [31/Mar/2011:17:10:38 -0500] [Job 5] Unable to start filter "foomatic-rip" - No such file or directory.
|
Installed footmatic-filters and everything works as expected.
Thanks again,
Nathan Zachary

NathanZachary: Thanks for your post.
The same problem solved here too. Installing footmatic-filters helped (error message didn't tell if some package is missing). Thanks!
Regards,
