Hi,

I just stumbled across a strange behavior:
I can't get the Kyoera 1750 working with a 64bit Gentoo.
The same machine worked now with different 32 bit distributions debian, ubuntu without roblems.

Kernel is compiled with:
Code:

# Parallel port support
#
CONFIG_PARPORT=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y
# CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y
# CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_AX88796 is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_NOT_PC=y



cups version and use flags are (without ppds it doesn't work neither)

Code:

emerge -pv cups

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] net-print/cups-1.2.12-r2  USE="X dbus jpeg nls pam png ppds ssl tiff -ldap -php -samba -slp" 0 kB



Parallelport is configure at the Bios to EPP (I tried also ECP and normal without success)


PPDs which I used to configure cups I got from

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Kyocera-FS-1750
http://www.kyoceramita.de/index/produkte/download_center.false._.FS1750.PRINT.DE.html

And i used the ppd coming with 32-bit ubuntu FS-1750.ppd

The device can be found with
Code:

ls -l /dev/lp0
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 11. Nov 11:45 /dev/lp0


ubuntu 32bit is working on this hardware with

    # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.3.2
    # Written by cupsd on 2007-11-10 21:43
    <DefaultPrinter FS-1750>

    KLimit 0
    OpPolicy default
    ErrorPolicy retry-job
    </Printer>



Gentoos printer.conf looks like this

    gentoo 64 bit not working
    # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.2.12
    # Written by cupsd on 2007-11-10 23:09
    <Printer Parallel_Port_1>

    Accepting Yes
    Shared Yes
    JobSheets none none
    QuotaPeriod 0
    PageLimit 0
    KLimit 0
    OpPolicy default
    ErrorPolicy stop-printer
    </Printer>




pirnter is available

Depending on the used ppd I get as a test page the beginning of a ps-source "%!PS-Adobe ..."
or I get just a frame without content.

It can't be a hardware problem, because it works with ubuntu (7.10).
Actually I suppose it works with every 32-bit version of cups.

Any hints ?

Well, after fumbling around for a while I found the following solution, but which let me understand the problems/behavior which I described before.

My solution is now:
I installed
Code:
net-print/foomatic-db-ppds-20060720


This doesn't come with a ppd-file for the FS-1750 but with one for FS-1800.
So I chose that one and it worked.
I still wonder why the recommend or the manufactur provided files doesn't work.
